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
Voraussetzung für die Wiederansiedlung der Art ist das Vorkommen von geeignetem Siedlungssubstrat in Flächen ohne physikalische Störungen. Die Maßnahme umfasst die Durchführung eines Forschungsvorhabens, in dessen Rahmen potenziell geeignete Wiederansiedlungsflächen (z.B. ehemalige Riffe) im Küstenmeer für ein Pilotprojekt ausgewiesen werden sollen. In diesen Bereichen sind störungsfreie bzw. störungsarme Zonen einzurichten. Ergänzende Informationen ergeben sich aus den Maßnahmenkennblättern: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file=files/meeresschutz/berichte/art13-massnahmen/zyklus22/MSRL_Art13_Anlage1_Massnahmenkennblaetter_2022.pdf // Zu CEA, CBA: Es wurde 2021 eine sozioökonomische Voreinschätzung durchgeführt.

Maßnahmen zur Wiederansiedlung des Hummers werden seit einigen Jahren durch das Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung in den Küstengewässern umgesetzt.
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.
The objective of the measure is to ensure adequate protection of endangered species/biotope types in the existing protected area by 1. Consider whether legislation needs to be adapted if necessary and, if necessary, to take account of new legislation for protected areas if species/biotope types are classified as being at risk in accordance with criterion 2 listed in the identification sheet and have not been sufficiently taken into account in them; 2. Ensure that these species/biotope types are properly taken into account and that the procedures for authorising protected areas are taken into account. Additional information can be obtained from the measure fiche: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file
The action aims to protect migratory species in two components: 1. Spatial planning and authorisation procedures, 2. Other arrangements, such as voluntary agreements and management plans. Additional information can be obtained from the measure fiches: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file
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
The measure provides, in several stages, for the development and establishment of site- and conservation-specific measures necessary to create effective withdrawal and rest areas for species and habitats. To this end, inter alia, needs assessments for withdrawal and rest rooms, analyses of the spatial location of protection needs in relation to existing spatial protection measures and legal checks to identify appropriate implementation tools, as well as steps for political decision, implementation and monitoring of implementation, are planned and carried out. Additional information can be obtained from the measure fiches: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file
Geogene und biogene Riffe sollen dort wiederhergestellt werden, wo diese natürlicherweise vorkamen bzw. vorkommen und durch menschliche Aktivitäten verschwunden oder stark degeneriert sind. Dabei sind fachliche Anforderungen an die Fläche und an die Ausgestaltung der Riffstrukturen u.a. hinsichtlich des Materials zu beachten. Ergänzende Informationen ergeben sich aus den Maßnahmenkennblättern: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file=files/meeresschutz/berichte/art13-massnahmen/zyklus22/MSRL_Art13_Anlage1_Massnahmenkennblaetter_2022.pdf // Zu Indikatoren: Vorschläge für mögliche Indikatoren liegen vor.

New emerging species, their reference and possible entry pathways should be immediately reported centrally (early warning system) in order to inform other monitoring programmes, the IMO GISIS database and other relevant databases such as AquaNIS and, where appropriate, cross-border information on the arrival of a new species. The early warning system should be linked to existing data retention, the reporting chain should be established from the outset and, if necessary, recommendations on control monitoring should be drawn up and submitted. In addition, new avenues of detection will be included. This includes, for example, the identification of species in environmental samples by metabarcoding of DNA. In addition, a decision support for immediate action (i.e. rapid removal of newly introduced species) will be established, which will include a balancing of the environmental risks of the measure. Additional information can be obtained from the measure fiches: https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art13.html?file
Marine protected areas in accordance with the Habitats Directive and VGL have been designated in the EEZ. The respective protected areas regulate uses. Some of the actions foreseen for implementation in the FRMPs have started.
Marine protected areas in accordance with the Habitats Directive and VGL have been designated in coastal waters. The respective Protected Area Regulations regulate uses.
The measure on species and biotope protection was implemented in 2017 by the BNatSchG. In particular, a prohibition on deterioration, an obligation to carry out an environmental and Habitats Directive impact assessment, and a prohibition on killing and injury and the prohibition of serious disturbance apply to particularly protected species.
The measure relates to new or recast agreements that go beyond measure M927. Additional measures include, for example, the designation of shellfish farming districts and management requirements in the SH-Wadden Sea National Park for shellfish farming compatible with nature and national parks, including areas which are kept free of use; Catch limits for pole-and-line and recreational fisheries and temporary closure periods for fish stocks recovery.
The measure relates to new or recast agreements that go beyond measure M915. Marine protected areas, including nature conservation areas, Natura 2000 areas and national parks, have already been designated in the coastal waters of the German North Sea and the Baltic Sea and protected by protective regulations. The prohibitions and bids set out therein are complemented by voluntary agreements with certain user groups (fisheries, tourism) in order to mitigate adverse effects (by-catch, disturbance) in particular during sensitive periods.
The actions foreseen in the FRMPs have partially started. Some of the nature reserves of the EEZs provide for fishing measures with restrictions on bottom-contacting fishing and static net fishing in accordance with a recommendation of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). A joint recommendation has been made by BALTFISH, the Baltic Regional Fisheries Management Organisation, to protect the particularly vulnerable population of harbour porpoises in the Central Baltic Sea. Implementation is still pending. As regards adverse impacts of fishing on food webs and habitats through by-catch, discarding and bottom towed gear in coastal waters, the Protected Area Regulations and Land Fishing Regulations contain partial fishing rules. Voluntary agreements for the protection of species and habitats in coastal waters complement these rules. 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 effectiveness of the measure is measured through the MSFD environmental indicators.

Assessment of the approval requirement, including appropriate assessment in accordance with relevant technical legislation, restrictions, requirements and, where applicable, scope of compensation www.bsh.de/de/Meeresnutzung/Wirtschaft/Windparks/index.jsp www.bsh.de/de/Meeresnutzung/Wirtschaft/Rohrleitungen/
The regional planning plans of the Federal Government and the Länder exist and are regularly updated.
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.
Legal requirements for impact assessments of uses.
Spatial planning tool to systematically coordinate usage claims in the coastal zone and its development. ICZM is guided by sustainability criteria and considers the sea and land side of coastal areas as a functional unit. 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 effectiveness of the measure is measured through the MSFD environmental indicators.

Progress description
The amendment to Section 57 of the BNatSchG extended the power to adopt ordinances on protected areas and thus created the basis for the inclusion of ecosystem-determining species and biotope types in the EEZ’s protected area regulations. A second step, which has already begun, will examine which species and biotope types should be included in the protected area schemes. In a final third step, species and biotope types are included in the Protected Area Regulations. This measure has already been implemented in the national parks of coastal waters. Full transposition is still pending in other protected areas and in the protected areas of the EEZ.
Komponente 1: Raumordnung und Genehmigungsverfahren Von den zuständigen Fachbehörden wurde ein naturschutzrechtlicher Planungsbeitrag mit entsprechenden Informationen zu Wander- und Zugrouten in das Verfahren zur Aktualisierung der marinen Raumordnung für die AWZ eingebracht und mit Veröffentlichung des ROP 2021 teilweise umgesetzt. Derzeit werden Informationen zu Wander- und Zugrouten aktualisiert und neu geprüft, ob die bereits vorhandenen Schutzgebiete in der AWZ und dem Küstenmeer ein kohärentes und repräsentatives Netzwerk bilden, das den Ansprüchen der MSRL Rechnung trägt. Ggf. existierende Lücken werden identifiziert und Vorschläge zum Füllen dieser Lücken zwischen Bund und Ländern abgestimmt. Zur nächsten Evaluation des ROP 2026 werden Ergebnisse der o.g. Prüfung berücksichtigt. Das Umweltziel 3.4 ‚Menschliche Bauwerke und Nutzungen gefährden die natürliche Ausbreitung (inkl. Wanderung) von Arten nicht‘ konnte bisher zumindest für die Seevögel bewertet werden und gilt als nicht erreicht. Die Maßnahme wird daher weitergeführt. Komponente 2: Weitere Regelungen wie z.B. freiwillige Vereinbarungen und Managementplänen Die Managementpläne für die Schutzgebiete in der AWZ von Nord- und Ostsee sind fertig und 2020 bzw. 2022 in Kraft getreten. Mit der Entwicklung freiwilliger Vereinbarungen und zahlreicher anderer ergänzender Maßnahmen wurde begonnen. So wird derzeit u.a. ein Leitfaden zur naturschutzverträglichen Räumung von Kampfmittelaltlasten erarbeitet, der zur Vermeidung und Verminderung von Belastungen durch Unterwassersprengungen beitragen wird. Sowie verschiedene Konzepte zur Verringerung von negativen Auswirkungen von Nutzungen auf marine Säuger, Vögel, Fledermäuse und Fischen. Da die Maßnahmen-Komponente noch nicht abgeschlossen werden konnte, wird sie entsprechend weitergeführt.
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.
