Avoid abrasion and smothering of the most representative areas of deep habitats (Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems*) and reduce the abrasion of particular geomorphological structures**: * Definition of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems based on..:- the IFREMER proposal for France transmitted to ICES (for the Atlantic and the Channel), - the identification of vulnerable marine ecosystems carried out within the framework of the United Nations Environment Programme's Mediterranean Obscure Habitats Action Plan (for the Mediterranean) ** Structures defined during the identification phase of the issues for the implementation of the DCSMM The map of VMEs and specific geomorphological structures can be found in the Environmental Objectives sheet.
