Progress was noted. It is desirable to continue this line. Actions: • IMO Waters Convention (in force since 2017) • Implementation of the EU Regulation on Invasive Species • Dredging guidelines However, there is a problem of non-native species growing in the strait and Alborán area (see initial evaluation of D2) and the measures to prevent their expansion should be stepped up. It is proposed to maintain the objective, without listing the possible pathways in the target, to shorten it and not to limit the possibilities. Indicating the pathways and translocation of non-native species identified in the initial assessment of D2. It is appropriate to modify the indicator so that it provides information on the number or percentage of anthropogenic pathways and vectors of translocation dealt with by policy or regulated measures. This indicator should indicate the pathways for the introduction and translocation of non-indigenous species, in particular those identified in the initial assessment of D2. It is also proposed to include this objective in group C since it is intended to make human activities compatible with the conservation of the marine environment.

An indicator should be added providing information the number or percentage of tracks and anthropogenic vectors of translocation addressed by measures acting or regulated. In this indicator, the routes of introduction and translocation of non-indigenous species in particular identified in the initial assessment from D2 It is also proposed to include this target group C as it is making it compatible with: human activities with marine conservation

According to the Initial Assessment of D2 Estrecho y Alborán, there has been an increase of invasive non-indigenous species, particularly important algae. It is proposed to change the target, as the eradication of IS is very complex and indeed in many cases cannot be addressed. It is proposed to be transformed into an integrated management objective, covering prevention (early detection networks) and management measures, thus covering this objective and C.3.6. It is proposed to amend the indicator to reflect the percentage of invasive species that have been committed.

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. It changes to group C.

Progress was noted. Active surveillance systems exist on the ground, although the monitoring of protected areas of protected areas (EMP) is to be completed. There are also remote surveillance systems such as buoys, satellites, radio-positioning of vessels by radio (AIS) and satellite (VMS), etc. It is proposed to change the target in order to focus more on monitoring compliance with the established rules, with a view to protecting marine ecosystems. Modify indicators to provide information on the degree of surveillance carried out, such as the number of infringement files, surveillance hours or the human resources allocated for this purpose.

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 link all the objectives for raising awareness to the following unit objective: ‘scientific studies and projects are a response to the knowledge gaps identified in the IA’. It is proposed to maintain this objective in terms of monitoring networks and early detection of non-native species, integrating it into a single integrated management target for invasion events by invasive non-native species (within category A).
