Target description
Increase in the number of marine habitats listed in the Habitats Directive and referred to in the SPA/BD Protocol of the Barcelona Convention which maintains or achieves a favourable conservation status
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 specific regulation to limit the impact of physical loss on biogenic substrates linked to the realisation and/or placement of human works.
At least 10% of the area with substrates exploited by fishing activities that interact with the seabed in an active way is protected.
Vessels operating with fishing gear which interact with the seabed in active is equipped with tools for recording and reporting position of vessels themselves, in particular those equipped with hydraulic dredges and bottom trawls with LOA < 15 m.
