2017-2022: Bycatch is assessed using data acquired by the implementation of the National Fisheries Data Collection Program. Based on these data; a limited number of species and individuals of protected fish and sea turtles died as bycatch. However; no cetaceans; seabirds or monk seals were reported to die as incidental bycatch. Specific measures are implemented for this scope. 2023-2028: Measures will continue to be implemented; and additional measures may be adopted; if and where needed; in order to minimize incidental catches.

2017-2022: Measures were implemented to protect and manage important marine and coastal habitats. These measures focused on safeguarding natural habitats from harmful human activities, regulating how dredged materials were disposed of to ensure they didn’t harm marine life or water quality, and protecting the seabed from being damaged by projects designed to prevent coastal erosion. They also addressed the environmental impacts of port construction and activities in port areas, ensuring they were managed sustainably. Additionally, Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), was implemented to organize the use of ocean space balancing human activities and environmental protection. 2023-2028: Measures will continue to be implemented and additional measures, considering Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), are expected to be adopted during this period, if and where needed, to minimize the possible impacts.

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.
