A.L.3.: Maintain or restore the natural balance of populations of key species for the ecosystem * Trends in populations of the species used as evaluation elements, corresponding to various trophic levels. * Indicators used for the assessment of food webs. OBJECTIVE 2012: A.3.4
C.1.2: Promote international cooperation in the study and monitoring of populations of geographically wide groups (e.g. cetaceans and reptiles). In the second cycle, this objective has been amended to: A.E.6 Improve international coordination of species monitoring programmes, especially for geographically wide species (e.g. fish, cetaceans and reptiles). This objective will be produced as a new one, as the code and indicators have changed.
A.1.5: To prevent impacts on trophic webs of the cultivation of marine species, with a focus on the cultivation of non-native and rare species In the second cycle, the objective has been maintained, although changing the code and indicators C.L.5. To prevent impacts on trophic webs of the cultivation of marine species, with a focus on the cultivation of non-native and rare species. This modified objective will be produced as a new objective, given that the code and the code have been changed.
C.2.1: To ensure that the area affected by permanent physical alterations caused by human activities is a small proportion of the total area of the Balearic district. In the second cycle, this objective has been amended to: C.L.10.Promoting human activities significantly the surface affected by physical loss of funds natural mariners in relation to the previous cycle in the district levanno-Balear. This objective will be gained as a new objective, given that the code and indicators have changed.

D04-OE03: Maintain a zero level of sampling on oceanic micro-nekton (especially Krill, and myctophidae or lantern fish...)
OE_MO_gen_B: Maintaining a good etat of conservation of the deep habitats of the submarine canyons
OE_MO_gen_A: Maintaining or restoring biodiversity and the functioning of coastal fund ecosystems (medio, infra and circalittoral)
D04-OE01: Limit damage to sensitive links in the trophic chain in order to restore the resource.
OE_MO_gen_C: Maintaining the fishery resources of the Gulf of Lion and coastal areas
OE_MO_gen_G: Reducing the input and presence of waste in marine waters (coastal, macro-waste, micro particles)
OE_MO_gen_I: Reduce the risk of introduction and spread of invasive non-native species
OE_MO_gen_E: Ensuring the hosting potentials of the marine environment for birds: Power supply, rest, reproduction, deplacements
OE_MO_gen_F: Reduce contributions to the sea of chemical contaminants from the water catchment areas as described in the initial assessment
OE_MO_gen_D: Maintain or re-establish populations of marine mammals in a good state of conservation

T 4.1: The status of selected trophic components of ecosystems has improved or remains within a range of precautionary variation which indicates the absence of substantial structural and functional changes in marine ecosystems. The assessment shall be conducted with appropriate metrics and indicators with reference to at least the following trophic guilds: Primary producers (phytoplankton)

D4-3: Obtain data to upgrade the assessment to criterion 4.3 (abundance/distribution of key trophic groups/species) in cooperation with neighbouring countries.
D4-4: The relevant missing metrics must be tested and harmonised at sub-regional level.
D4-2: To obtain data to assess the relevance of the indicators for the description of criteria 4.1 and 4.2 in cooperation with neighbouring countries.
D4-1: Achieving good and preventing deterioration in relation to indicator 4.3.1. (trends in numbers of functionally important selected groups/species: Biomass of Mesozoplankton)
D4C1-D4C2: The development and harmonisation of methods to assess the situation on the basis of quality descriptors for food webs (D4), including the determination of the value relevant for assessment.
