D01-HB-OE03: Reduce physical disturbance related to human use on intertidal rocky habitats*, including boulder fields, intertidal mussel beds, cystose belts and lithophyllum boardwalks *Boulder fields, intertidal mussel beds, cystose belts and lithophyllum boardwalks
D01-HB-OE09: Avoid the physical disturbance of Mediterranean seagrass beds and coralligenous (by means of anchoring, diving in the water and bottom fishing gears)

T 6.1: A specific regulation to limit the impact of physical loss on biogenic substrates linked to the realisation and/or placement of human works.
T 6.3: 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.
T 1.2: 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
T 3.2: 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.
T 6.2: At least 10% of the area with substrates exploited by fishing activities that interact with the seabed in an active way is protected.

D6-4: Define the distribution, cover and biomass of biogenic substrates to describe the status and determine good environmental status.
D6-5: Verification (and, if necessary, limitation) of physical damage to the biogenic substrate due to fishing practices
D6C4: Prevention of additional loss of benthic habitat types in the mediolittoral and infralittoral. Preservation of good status of benthic habitats in the circalitoral.
D6-3: Achieving good and preventing deterioration of benthic communities, evaluated using already developed and operational multi-metric indices to assess the status and functionality of the benthic community in accordance with Directive 2000/60 / EC.
D6-2: Achieving good and preventing deterioration in relation to the extent of the seabed (different types of substrates), which is significantly affected by human activities.
D6-1: Achieving good and preventing deterioration in terms of biomass, abundance and range of biogenic substrate in accordance with Directive 2000/60 / EC.
D6C1-D6C3: Prevention of additional loss of benthic habitat types in the mediolittoral and infralittoral. Maintaining good status of benthic habitats in the circalitoral (including D6C4 targets). Prevention of deterioration of benthic habitat types due to adverse effects of anthropogenic pressures (also target for D6C5).
D6C5: Prevention of deterioration of benthic habitat types due to adverse effects of anthropogenic pressures.
