Progress was noted. It is desirable to continue this line.
Actions:
- IMO Waters Convention (in force since 2017)
- Implementation of the EU Regulation on Invasive Species
- Dredging guidelines
It is proposed to maintain the objective, without listing the possible pathways in the target, to shorten it and not to limit the possibilities.
An indicator should be added to provide information on the number or percentage of anthropogenic pathways and vectors of translocation dealt with by policy or regulated measures. This indicator should indicate the pathways for introduction and translocation of non-indigenous species in particular those identified in the initial assessment of D2.
It is also proposed to include this objective in group C since it is designed to make human activities compatible with the conservation of the marine environment.

Progress was noted. It is desirable to continue this line. Examples of actions:
- Measures taken to withdraw Sargassum in the case of the Atlantic Islands
It is proposed to change the target, as the eradication of IS is very complex and indeed in many cases cannot be addressed. It is proposed to be transformed into an integrated management objective, covering prevention (early detection networks) and management measures, thus covering this objective and C.3.6.
It is proposed to amend the indicator to reflect the percentage of invasive species that have been committed.
|
According to the Initial Assessment of D2 of DMSUD, non-native species have not increased and do not pose a threat to marine habitats.
It is proposed to change the target, as the eradication of IS is very complex and indeed in many cases cannot be addressed. It is proposed to be transformed into an integrated management objective, covering prevention (early detection networks) and management measures, thus covering this objective and C.3.6.
It is proposed to amend the indicator to reflect the percentage of invasive species that have been committed.
|
There is no sufficient data on mortality (see initial evaluation of D1-marine birds of DMSUD - Marine District South Atlantic)
It is proposed to maintain the objective, by simplifying its wording.
It is also proposed to divide the indicator into several, more oriented to addressing the causes and pressures identified as the most important in DMSUD (Marine District South Atlantic):
It is also proposed to include this objective in group C as it is clearly intended to make human activities compatible with the conservation of the marine environment.
|
Depending on the species. No progress detected/situation has got worse for shallow-water, cormorant and arao
|
Depending on the group
- baleen whales (Mysticeti), cannot be evaluated due to a lack of data.
- toothed whales (odontoceti): No progress detected/The situation has worsened

in the case of a killer whale, a state is not detected in demographic parameters. For all other analysisspecies, there is insufficient data (see initial evaluation of D1-species marine mammals of DMSUD)
It is proposed to maintain the objective, by simplifying its wording.
It is also proposed to divide the indicator into several, more oriented to addressing the causes and pressures identified as the most important in DMSUD:
It is also proposed to include this objective in group C as it is clearly intended to make human activities compatible with the conservation of the marine environment.

Cannot be evaluated. No information on the indicator.
There are measures such as: in RN2000, non-native species cannot be grown
It is proposed that the aim be maintained, on the proposal of the experts and by the foreseeable rise of aquaculture. The indicator will be changed to "prevention measures in control programmes" as the existence of the programmes themselves is mandatory.

Cannot be evaluated. The NOR FD corresponds to the FAO 27 catch area. 8.C. in which a total of 537.50Â kg of the species was caught: CYP, ETX, SSS, SCK, CKB AND API (from the lowest quantity caught) between 2012 and 2018, out of a total of 24Â 069.85Â kg caught by the Spanish fleet in national fishing ground waters.
Despite having this data, no threshold values have been set.

This would be a concrete measure. The objective of preventing elasmobranchs and bycatches is considered included in Objective A.1.4.
It is therefore proposed to delete
|
Progress was noted. It is necessary to continue along this line
The wording of this objective corresponds better to one measure. Amend the wording to suit an objective, and the indicator to enable it to measure the level of achievement of the target
Further divide the target into two: One aimed at improving the coordination of monitoring programmes for species and habitats, and one focusing on beaching and accidental catches. In addition, it is proposed to include an explicit reference to the improvement of the monitoring of incidental catch by the fishing sector (objective proposed under the âMicistic seas II for Macaronesia, which is considered to be extended to the other demarcations)

Progress was noted. Active surveillance systems exist on the ground, although monitoring of protected areas of protected areas (EMP) is to be completed.
There are also remote surveillance systems such as buoys, satellites, radio-positioning of vessels by radio (AIS) and satellite (VMS), etc.
It is proposed to change the target in order to focus more on monitoring compliance with the established rules, with a view to protecting marine ecosystems.
Modify indicators to provide information on the degree of surveillance carried out, such as the number of infringement files, surveillance hours or the human resources allocated for this purpose

SEE 9 GES reporting for indicator 1.3.1
It is not possible to assess due to a lack of data.
It is considered that the D3 should not be included in this objective. In any case, it would correspond in part with the criterion D3C3 for commercial species, so this objective would be implicit in the BEA of D3C3.
On the other hand, for all other species, this objective could be considered as part of Criterion D1C3.
The aim is to eliminate this objective because it is the same as the specific criteria of the BEA.

It is not possible to assess due to a lack of data
It is considered that the D3 of this objective should be excluded, as it is already evaluated via D3C2 and D3C1.
It could be considered to be covered by the criteria of the D1 as a whole, applied to large fish. It is suggested to delete

Birds: it is not possible to assess due to a lack of data.
Mammals: â Progress noted. It is necessary to continue along this line
Turtles: It is not possible to assess due to a lack of data.
Birds: Criterion not assessed
This objective overlaps with criterion D1C4. It is proposed to remove, since it is already being pursued with the aim of achieving that criterion.

BIRDS: Depending on the species: Cannot be assessed/no progress is detected/progress/objective achieved is detected
Mammals: Cannot be evaluated (evaluated for common dolphin only).
Although several estimators have been found for some of the elements, most do not have the necessary precision and frequencies to be able to understand the trends.
Turtles: Not assessed. No data
Commercial species: Progress was noted. It is necessary to continue along this line

D1 BIRDS: Cannot be evaluated on the basis of data available or does not apply (depending on species)
D1 Mammals: â Not assessable (assessment can only be made for common dolphin).
Although several estimators have been found for some of the elements, most do not have the necessary precision and frequencies to be able to understand the trends.
D1 Tortugas: Not assessed. No data
D3- Commercial species: Progress was noted. It is necessary to continue along this line
It is proposed to change the target to better reflect the balance of the entire ecosystem as a whole, not just populations of certain species.

2 reviews have been carried out since 2012 (in 2015 and 2016) of the
List of wild species under special protection regime and the Spanish catalogue of endangered species. In these revisions they do not affect the marine species of the RO NOR
Evaluation proposal: No progress was detected.
The wording is considered to be closer to the concrete measure than is the case. It is proposed to change the target so as to approach marine species on the list of threatened species.
The indicator could be amended to reflect the number of marine species being catalogued/discatalogued or change category on the list of threatened species.
An indicator showing whether stock assessments are ongoing should also be added.
It is proposed to move to type A, as it is a tool to ensure the conservation and restoration of marine biodiversity.

The objective is considered to have been achieved
Indicator value for the period 2011-2016: 2 434 800 m². 0.0008 % of the surface area of the North Atlantic Demarcation has been affected by permanent physical alterations in the period under review (2011-2016)
See pressure evaluation âphysical lossesâ on the DMOR
It is proposed to amend as it is very similar to criterion D6C1. It could be transformed into a pressure target so as to ensure that new activities of human activities do not significantly increase the surface area affected by physical loss of natural marine resources compared to the previous cycle.
The indicators may also distinguish the area occupied by coastal defence infrastructure from which they do not have this objective.

It is not possible to assess accurately
It is proposed to maintain the objective, improving the wording.
It is proposed to modify the indicator in a way that is quantifiable, and to add another concerning the proportion of compatibility reports on existing installations.

Very generic indicator
It is proposed to change the wording of the target in order to make it more specific and linked to the BEA, and that of the indicator, as it is very generic and does not correspond strictly to the objective. The indicator could be in line with the number of mitigation measures taken for each human action that causes physical alterations.
|
Target achieved
All Member State documents are publicly available on MITECO's website.
However, it can be improved.
For the second cycle, it is proposed to specify and extend the target audience, so as to improve access to information on the marine environment available to all maritime administrations and institutions, as well as to the general public.

Progress detected
As can be seen in the initial assessment of the D4 in the NORM, progress has been made in the area of OSPAR in the field of OSPAR.
It is proposed to keep the wording simpler, as it fully matches the needs of D4.
