ISPRA, on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Environment, carried out the initial assessment of environmental quality status of the 3 Italian subregions (Mediterranean Sea Region) on Descriptor 9. The approach adopted to define the GES started to verify that contaminants in fish and other seafood for human consumption did not exceed levels established by Community legislation (Reg. 1881/2006 and further updates). As the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires to use health tools to assess the environment, Italy decided to adopt a statistical range of acceptance of thresholds identified by national (D.Lgs. 152/2006 concerning water quality required for mussel farms) and international legislation (Reg. 1881/2006 and further updates), which allowed to use the health results and to employ them for the assessment of environmental quality. Italy proposed that Good Environmental Status (GES) is achieved when concentrations are lower than statistical range of acceptance, estimated on samples of fish and fishery products coming from only national waters. GIS-based approach a to perform different integration levels for station, cell's grid and years, was used; the elaborations allowed to judge the environmental quality good.
意大利环境、领土与海洋保护局（ISPRA）代表意大利环境部，对意大利3个次区域（地中海区域）的环境质量状况进行了关于描述符9的初步评估。定义良好环境状态（GES）所采用的方法首先是核查供人类消费的鱼类和其他海产品中的污染物含量未超过欧盟法规（第1881/2006号法规及其后续更新）规定的水平。由于《海洋战略框架指令》（MSFD）要求使用健康工具来评估环境，意大利决定采用一个由国家（关于贻贝养殖场水质要求的第152/2006号法令）和国际法规（第1881/2006号法规及其后续更新）确定的阈值接受统计范围，这使得能够利用健康结果并将其用于环境质量评估。意大利提议，当仅来自本国海域的鱼类和渔业产品样本的浓度低于接受统计范围时，即实现了良好环境状态（GES）。采用了基于地理信息系统（GIS）的方法对站点（station）、单元格网格（cell's grid）和年份进行不同程度的整合，这些精细分析得出环境质量良好的判定结果。
