Measure description
Permit requirement: preventing, mitigating, compensating for effects on nature and the environment, such as with respect to significant effects on BHD species and areas.
Expansion of scope of Nature Conservation Act (BHD operationalisation) and Flora and Fauna Act to include EEZ.
Termination of fishery with tickler chains as per 1 January 2016 for the purpose of preventing and mitigating significant effects on BHD species and areas (does not apply to shrimp fishing).
Zoning and phasing of activities outside the breeding ground and breeding season: preventing and mitigating significant effects on BHD species.
Recovery of natural age composition of fish populations and benthic fauna and restoration of order for marine mammals and birds.
Elaboration of plans for achieving the objectives of OSPAR’s North-East Atlantic Environmental Strategy for 16 animal species and five habitat types.
Designation of Cleaver Bank, Dogger Bank and Frisian Front as Natura 2000 areas. Conservation goals have been established for each area.
Restoration of migration of diadromous species of fish – HD and WFD.
