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 protect the seabed from damage caused by erosion prevention projects, ensuring its integrity. Additionally, focus was placed on MSP which organized the use of marine areas to balance environmental protection with human activities. 2023-2028: Measures will continue to be implemented and additional measures, such as ICZM may be adopted, if and where needed, to minimize the potential environmental impacts and ensure sustainable management of coastal and marine areas.

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.
