Target description
In accordance with the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), adjust fishing mortality to achieve maximum sustainable yield (MSY) for fish stocks covered by international and European recommendations.
Adapt fishing mortality to ensure sustainable management of local stocks for those fish stocks concerned wholly or partly by a national or sub-national assessment and subject to local management
Adapt recreational fishing removals so as to achieve or maintain the good state of the stocks on the basis of the best available knowledge.
Maintaining or restoring biodiversity and the functioning of coastal fund ecosystems (medio, infra and circalittoral)
Maintaining a good etat of conservation of the deep habitats of the submarine canyons
Maintaining the fishery resources of the Gulf of Lion and coastal areas
Reduce contributions to the sea of chemical contaminants from the water catchment areas as described in the initial assessment

Target assessment description
Target: Fishing mortality rate corresponding to the MSY for each stock under the CFP.
The environmental objective is abandoned as it does not correspond to the definition of an environmental target for the second cycle. It is too general, it is not intended to reduce a clearly identified pressure and does not have an indicator enabling it to be assessed.
