Target assessment description |
2017-2022: Monitoring Programs were implemented in the coastal and offshore waters in the framework of WFD, MSFD, UNEP/MAP MEDPOL Program, Nutrients Directive, etc. In addition, port reception facilities and MARPOL Annexes were followed in all shipping activities, best agriculture practices were implemented for diffuse sources of nutrients to be minimized, waste management plans for municipal and industrial wastes were applied, recycling programs were implemented in coastal areas, industrial air emissions were regulated by permits issued to relevant industries, and all water discharge permits were issued with obligatory threshold values applying.
2023-2028: Measures will continue to be implemented, and additional measures will be adopted where needed (e.g. Adopt-a-Beach program), to minimize the insertion of liquid, air and solid pollutants to the marine environment. |

2017-2022: Measures were implemented to raise awareness on the marine environment, including (i) participation in dissemination events and festivals, including the annual European Researchers Night, (ii) addressing MSFD descriptors via social media (e.g. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), (iii) publishing informational material and articles/reports in scientific journals and local newsletters, (iv) participation in relevant conferences, scientific meetings, radio talks, etc.
2023-2028: Measures will continue to be implemented, and additional measures will be adopted where needed (e.g. Adopt-a-Beach program), to ensure awareness on the marine environment |
2017-2022: Measures were implemented to enhance knowledge on the marine environment, including several scientific surveys to collect data on habitats, species (e.g. cetaceans, seabirds, NIS), fisheries, marine litter, etc.
2023-2028: Measures will continue to be implemented, like new surveys that already started or are planned for the coming years, aiming to cover gaps of knowledge and collect scientific data for the assessment of the marine environment and the identification of additional measures to be applied where needed. |
