Implementation of the 1992 EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) requires Member States to undertake surveillance (i.e. monitoring) of a wide range of Annex-listed flora, fauna and habitat types that are earmarked for conservation. The status of these features is then subject to detailed re-assessment and reporting once every six years, in accordance with Article 17 of the Directive. In this regard, the fundamental parameters underlying individual species assessments are the Range, Habitat for the species, Population (including trend information) and Future Prospects (including evaluation of pressures, threats and conservation measures). Similar to requirements under the Habitats Directive, implementation of the EU Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC), that was first enacted in 1979, brings with it measures and actions for the conservation, protection and monitoring of populations of wild birds, including marine birds and their habitats. Following a recent revision to reporting requirements by the European Commission, the status of Ireland’s wild birds is now subject to detailed re-assessment and reporting once every six years. This provides an improved and more coherent alignment with Member State reporting requirements under the Habitats Directive.

This provides an improved and more coherent alignment with Member State reporting requirements under the Habitats Directive.

Implementation of the 1992 EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) requires Member States to undertake surveillance (i.e. monitoring) of a wide range of Annex-listed flora, fauna and habitat types that are earmarked for conservation. The status of these features is then subject to detailed re-assessment and reporting once every six years, in accordance with Article 17 of the Directive. In this regard, the fundamental parameters underlying individual species assessments are the Range, Habitat for the species, Population (including trend information) and Future Prospects (including evaluation of pressures, threats and conservation measures). Similar to requirements under the Habitats Directive, implementation of the EU Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC), that was first enacted in 1979, brings with it measures and actions for the conservation, protection and monitoring of populations of wild birds, including marine birds and their habitats. Following a recent revision to reporting requirements by the European Commission, the status of Ireland’s wild birds is now subject to detailed re-assessment and reporting once every six years. This provides an improved and more coherent alignment with Member State reporting requirements under the Habitats Directive.

Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI), an agency under the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, was established on July 1st 2010 by the Inland Fisheries Act 2010. Its principal function is to protect, manage and conserve Ireland's inland fisheries and sea angling resources. In general terms, IFI works 1) to promote, support, facilitate and advise the Minister on the conservation, protection, management, marketing, development and improvement of Ireland's inland fisheries, including its sea angling resource; 2) to develop and advise the Minister on policy and national strategies relating to inland fisheries and sea angling, and 3) to ensure implementation and delivery of policy and strategies developed under (2) as agreed with the Minister. While a large part of IFI’s monitoring of fish stocks, their status and habitats focuses on the conservation and management of inland freshwater fish and their habitats, there are a number of marine and diadromous species of relevance to MSFD Descriptor 1 for which IFI carries out targeted monitoring (see also 4.1.1. XI). Monitoring campaigns for species that are not listed under the EU Habitats Directive are outlined below. I. Tuna CHART Ireland recently established a targeted monitoring programme for Bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), which is a prohibited species under the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Under a 2019 multi-annual management plan for the species, Contracting Parties to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) can conduct an angling catch-and-release fishery for the purposes of data collection. This is applicable to vessels operating in the context of a research institute led scientific programme, the results of which are to be communicated to ICCAT’s Standing Committee on Research and Statistics (SCRS). Ireland has operated a Bluefin tuna data collection and monitoring programme called, Tuna CHART since 2019. This has involved several organisations, including IFI, the Marine Institute, the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. In 2019, a limited number of authorised and trained charter skippers operated this closely regulated catch, tag and release programme. In 2020, data were collected from 22 Irish charter boats, with 682 Bluefin tuna specimens captured by angling, then measured and tagged in the water, and released. It is intended that

The amount of litter on the seabed of the North East Atlantic is monitored as part of existing trawling programmes for the assessment of fish stocks, the International Bottom Trawl Survey. These programmes are coordinated by the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES). North East Atlantic countries survey different sections of the marine areas. For example, France and Ireland currently survey the Celtic Sea area, Ireland covers the shelf West of Ireland, Ireland and Scotland survey the north coast of Ireland and Northern Ireland covers the Irish Sea.
