The best ecological status or potential in coastal and transitional waters in Europe are found in Scotland and around the Mediterranean islands of Greece  and  Cyprus, as well as in the French part of the Bay of Biscay and in southern Italy, where more than 90% of the coastal and transitional water bodies are reported to be in good or better ecological status or potential. The results reported from the French Bay of Biscay and southern Italy are however quite uncertain, as the classified water bodies only constitute 20% and 2% of all the coastal water bodies in these two RBDs respectively (see also chapter 3 above). Another area with large numbers of water bodies in high and good status is the French coast of Brittany, the southern tip of Greece and most of the Spanish coast, including the Balearic islands.
