Target description
Maritime spatial planning is carried out in a way that it advances the achievement of good environmental status in marine environment.
Marine protected areas cover at least 10% of each of the five marine areas and form an ecologically coherent network.
Marine protected areas cover at least 10% of each of the five marine areas and form an ecologically coherent network.
Marine protected areas will effectively protect the features for which they have been established. Within-MPA pressures will be lower than outside in order to ensure habitats’ and species’ viability and favourable conservation status. Management plans will be made on the basis of the local underwater nature and the pressures threatening it.
