Measure description	Contains several individual measures for environmentally sustainable restocking mussel fisheries and to ensure the development of eu and sublitoral mussel beds and communities, e.g. through use-free zones. Additional information can be obtained from the measure fiche: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file	Across all objectives, the North-East Atlantic Environmental Strategy, updated to implement the OSPAR Convention, contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the MSFD in the sense of a Category 1b measure, while continuing existing OSPAR measures. The inclusion of regional measures, plans and programmes in the national programme of measures does not alter their legal nature. The effectiveness of the measure is measured through the MSFD environmental indicators. Specific indicators may exist within the framework of the policy implementing the action and may be used to assess effectiveness. //Indicators: The actions of NEAES are linked to the OSPAR indicator system, which captures the impact of the measures (https://www.ospar.org/work-areas/cross-cutting-issues/ospar-common-indicators). The indicator system is constantly evolving.	Design and implement a programme (possibly with the help of EU funds) to promote sustainable ecosystem-friendly fisheries, with the aim of further embedding the issue in public awareness and informing about it. Additional information can be obtained from the measure fiche: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file	The action has three components: 1. Fisheries management measures in Natura 2000 areas in the North Sea and Baltic Sea; 2. The common fisheries policy; 3. Promote the development and use of ecosystem-friendly and sustainable fishing gear. Additional information can be obtained from the measure fiche: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file	National legal transposition takes place in accordance with the implementation deadlines of the CFP: Landing obligation is fully implemented, multi-annual plans have been implemented; sustainable management of all stocks not yet achieved, but progress has been made. There are still shortcomings in achieving environmental objectives 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, including by-catch reduction, monitoring and control of fisheries management measures and fisheries measures to protect endangered species and habitats. This will be done by the new measure UZ4-02 in the programme of measures at 2. Cycle continued.	State Fisheries Acts and Coastal Fishing Regulations of the Coastal Federal States contain restrictions on the use of certain fishing gears, fishing protected areas, closed seasons and fishing bans for fish species. Regulations on protected areas already contain, inter alia, rules for pole-and-line fishing and areas free of use.

Progress description			Verschiedene Einzelaktivitäten in den Ländern sind in Zusammenarbeit mit den Nationalparkverwaltungen abgeschlossen. Sie reichen von der Schulung von Natur- und Landschaftsführern über ein Kinder- und Jugendbuch zur nachhaltigen Fischerei bis hin zu Ausstellungsschwerpunkten zur nachhaltigen Fischerei und Informationsangebote für die Öffentlichkeit und Schulklassen. Die neue Dachmarke in Schleswig-Holstein „WIR Fischen.SH“ soll auch der Verbreitung von Informationen zur nachhaltigen Fischerei dienen. Weitere Aktivitäten sind gestartet, ihr Abschluss ist bis 2023 geplant. Es kommen fortlaufend neue Aktivitäten hinzu - derzeit sind Aktivitäten bis 2027 geplant.	Komponente 1 (Fischereimaßnahmen in Natura-2000 Gebieten in Nord- und Ostsee): Für die Nordsee AWZ abgeschlossen mit der Annahme der gemeinsamen Empfehlung und Vorlage an die EU-Kommission. Die EU-KOM hat einen entsprechenden Entwurf eines delegierten Rechtsakts vorgelegt mit dessen in Kraft in 2022 zu rechnen ist. Für die Ostsee AWZ wird die Annahme der gemeinsamen Empfehlung und Vorlage an die EU-Kommission“ spätestens 2023 erfolgen. Frühestens 2023 kann mit dem Inkrafttreten eines EU delegierten Rechtsakts und der vollständigen Umsetzung der Komponente für die Ostsee gerechnet werden. Fischereimanagementmaßnahmen in Natura-2000-Gebieten im Küstenmeer werden durch die jeweiligen Länder vorbereitet und umgesetzt. Mit einer Umsetzung ist bis 2027 zu rechnen. Komponente 2 (Nationale Umsetzung der Gemeinsame Fischereipolitik): Die nationale, rechtliche Umsetzung erfolgt entsprechend der Umsetzungsfristen der GFP: Die Anlandepflicht ist vollständig umgesetzt, die Umsetzung der Mehrjahrespläne ist abgeschlossen; die nachhaltige Bewirtschaftung aller Bestände ist noch nicht erreicht, aber Fortschritte erzielt. Weiterhin bestehen noch Defizite bzgl. der Erreichung der Umweltziele 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 und 4.4., u.a. bei der Beifangreduzierung, der Überwachung- und Kontrolle von Fischereimanagementmaßnahmen und Fischereimaßnahmen zum Schutz von gefährdeten Arten und Lebensräumen. Dies wird durch die Komponente 2 der neuen Maßnahme UZ4-02 in Maßnahmenprogramm zum 2. Zyklus fortgeführt. Komponente 3 (Förderung, Entwicklung und Verwendung von ökosystemgerechten und zukunftsfähigen Fanggeräten): Neue schonende Fangmethoden, um Beifänge von Schweinswalen und Seevögeln zu reduzieren, werden derzeit erprobt oder wurden bereits in die Fischerei eingeführt. Weitere Projekte wurden begonnen um die vielversprechenden Ansätze auch bis hin zur Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu entwickeln.
