Regarding the assessment of the criteria D1C1, sporadic data on bycatch is collected through the National Stranding Network (Protocol for Alerting and Monitoring of dead, sick or injured strictly protected marine species (marine mammals, sea turtles and cartilaginous fish). The Programme of Measures pursuant to Article 13 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive includes several activities which address this issue. Implementation of monitoring and assessment of the extent of incidental catches by using observers on fishing vessels and by targeted data collection is planned within the measure 3.8.1 Analyze the risks of incidental catch of turtles, marine mammals, sharks, rays and seabirds by different fishing gear. From 2019 fishing sector has the obligation to record and to report bycatch of endangered species, including all species of se turtles, through Croatian national data collection programme conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture. Moreover, further research is needed to assess the impact of pressures on populations of sea turtles. |

Programme description |
Due to the large geographic mobility, monitoring of Distribution indicators for species Caretta caretta should be carried out at the subregional level (Adriatic Sea). Also, on the subregional level it is necessary to establish indicators spatial / temporal monitoring of the bycatch and mortality due to ingestion of marine litter. |
