(SEE 9 GES reporting for the different arbitrators) objective 0 is considered unnecessary since it coincides with the main aim of the Directive: Achieve BEA in all descriptors

The minimum surface area of the seabed of the Demarcación Canaria que ha if you have suffered some sort of disturbance during the current period of evaluation is 98 million m². representing 0.02 % of the area demarcation. Because it could not be taken into account trawling, one very relevant activity for this analysis not possible determine whether or not the target is met It is proposed to maintain the objective, simplifying wording and focusing more on indicators towards the main pressures of the FD Canary Islands The indicator is too general in order to assess the objective, it proposes to amend and combine it with other relevant indicators evaluate the initiatives put in place at gear for achieving reduction of pressures. It is also proposed to include this target group C as it is clearly targeted at making activities compatible human beings with conservation marine environment

Progress was noted. There are active surveillance systems in place in on the spot, however, it is envisaged to complete the monitoring of Marine Spaces Protected (PME). Surveillance systems also exist remote, such as buoys, satellites, geolocalisation of vessels, by radio (AIS) and satellite (VMS), etc. It is proposed to change the objective of focus more on the monitoring compliance rules laid down in the interest of the ecosystem protection seafarers Edit indicator to provide input information on the grade of surveillance performed, such as number of infringement dossiers, surveillance or human resources intended for the purpose

In process. Despite the fact that it is have implemented a number of actions on introduction pathways, and that the outcome of the evaluation of the Descriptor 2 proved to be Good Environmental Condition”, is considered to be that no key vectors have been addressed for introduction and translocation of non-indigenous species in the Canary Islands, such as the Biouling. See initial evaluation of D2 of the DMCAN Actions: Convention on Waters of Lakes IMO (in force since 2017) Implementation of the Regulation Community species on species IS Dredging guidelines It is proposed to maintain the objective, to continue along the same line, although you do not list the possible pathways in the objective, to shorten this and to: do not limit possibilities. An indicator should be added providing information the number or percentage of tracks and anthropogenic vectors of translocation addressed by measures acting or regulated. It is proposed it should also include this objective in the group C as it is aimed at making activities compatible human beings with conservation marine environment

Objective achieved. In accordance with Initial Assessment of D2 in the case of the Canary Islands, non-indigenous species they have not increased. decreased and do not pose a threat marine habitats It is proposed to change the target. as the eradication of is very poor invasive species complex and really in many cases cannot be addressed. SE proposes to transform it into a integrated management target covering prevention (networks of early detection) and measures of management, thus covering this objective, and C.3.6.

Cannot be evaluated. No information on the indicator. There are measures such as: in RN2000, non-native species cannot be grown It is proposed that the aim be maintained, on the proposal of the experts and by the foreseeable rise of aquaculture. The indicator will be changed to "prevention measures in control programmes" as the existence of the programmes themselves is mandatory. Switch to group C

Canary Islands included in Rampe: 2.15 % Evaluation proposal: Progress was noted. Is necessary continue along this line The inclusion or not of a MLE in the Rampe is not an indicator of protection yes (this protection is achieved by means the MLE and the MLE declaration. approval of the respective plan of management) It is proposed to replace this objective. for the achievement of a complete network, ecologically representative: coherent and well managed areas marine protected”. To be amended also the indicator for putting it into compliance with the objectives of Rampe

Depending on the species. See initial evaluation of D1 of the DMCAN (Macaronesia Roof Report) It is proposed to change the target for better reflecting the balance of all the ecosystem as a whole, not only the populations of certain species

It is not possible to assess due to a lack of data. It is proposed to maintain, as it is not fully agrees with any criterion, but it supports the achievement of BEA

Since 2012, 2 reviews were carried out (in 2015 and 2016) of the List of Wild Species in Special Protection Regime and the Spanish Catalogue of Endangered Species. The Canary Islands (Cymodocea nodosa) has been included in the category ‘vulnerable’. Progress was noted. It is necessary to continue this line. The wording is considered to be closer to the concrete measure than is the case. It is proposed to change the target so as to approach marine species on the list of threatened species. The indicator could be changed to reflect the number of marine species that are/discatalogued or change category on the list of threatened species. An indicator showing whether stock assessments are ongoing should also be added. It is proposed to move to type A, as it is a tool to ensure the conservation and restoration of marine biodiversity.

Objective achieved: Expert PdS workshops: 14 (Workshops and meetings with administrations and survey) Expert workshop for the design of the MIP: 21 • Dissemination: 1 workshop (by DM), • 1 Dissemination campaign (dissemination materials) • 2 CONAMAS • Education and participation projects: 7 (BIO) including INTEMARES • volunteering campaigns • meetings with sectors: 1 workshop on socio-economic analysis • public consultation of documents from the Member States: 3 • Public consultation of project results MISTIC SEAS: 2 It is proposed to keep this objective for the second cycle, so as to ensure social participation in the Member States.

Target achieved • ICES meetings: 6 • meetings meetings of the CAN Monitoring Committee: 6 • Autonomous Community meetings on marine biodiversity: 7 • Generating DMCAN data flow • Working groups: WG Biodiversity: 1 Marine cartography: 10 Descriptor 9 GT: 1 WG Seat-Data: 2 WG Technical WG Costa: 6 • Meetings with sectors: 1 workshop on socio-economic analysis It is proposed to maintain the objective, by improving the wording for the second cycle, to make further progress in the coordination of public administrations. It is proposed to add as indicator: “Number of thematic areas in which coordination initiatives are taken, compared to the previous cycle”.

Cannot be evaluated

Target achieved All Member State documents are publicly available on MITECO’s website. However, it can be improved. For the second cycle, it is proposed to specify and extend the target audience, so as to improve access to information on the marine environment available to all maritime administrations and institutions, as well as to the general public.

Progress was noted. In order to simplify, it is proposed to join all the objectives for the increase of knowledge in the following unit objective: “Scientific studies and projects address the knowledge gaps identified in the IS” Of this objective, it is proposed to keep the improvement of knowledge on the effects of climate change on the marine environment separately and to incorporate the intention to consider this variable in the different phases of marine strategies.

Progress is detected on the monitoring of river basin variability but no alert system has yet been established. The objective and the indicator overlap. It is proposed to change the wording of the target so as to make it more general, and its compliance can be measured by the indicator.
