Target description
The condition of populations of fish and cephalopods representing fish and cephalopods, also of commercial interest, is improving. These include vulnerable species, in relation to their low reproductive capacity (sharks and rays) and/or species of commercially exploited fish and cephalopods. In the latter case, the 3 T3.1 Environmental Target is applied.
By 2020, the impact of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing) has been reduced and knowledge of the effects of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU fishing) on fishery resources and biodiversity has increased, including through the implementation at national level of Regulation (EU) No 1005/2008 to combat IUUF.
A regulation of recreational fishing in Italian marine waters shall be prepared by 2020 and a first assessment of its impact shall be carried out.
