This is the first report to describe the condition and influences on main habitat types and species groups in the eleven biogeographical regions and the seven seas around Europe. The report covers Europe from the Arctic to the Mediterranean and from the Atlantic to the Ural Mountains. It is based on expert contributions and comments from the countries involved in the biogeographical regions and seas.
This chapter of the report describes conditions of and influences on main habitat types and species groups living in the North Sea. This shallow and rather young ecosystem is extremely productive and one of the worlds most important fishing grounds having also intensive oil and gas exploitation.
