Initially, the developed measure concerned only two species of seabirds (Puffinus yelkouan) and the Mediterranean subspecies of mottled cormorant (Phalacrocorax aristotelis desmarestii) selected as common indicators for Bulgaria and Romania, as both species are monitored on the coasts of the two countries. The measure is extended to all important protected bird species included in the Standard Form of the Natura 2000 site ROSPA 0076 Black Sea and in the Management Plan of ROSPA Black Sea. The measure aims to collect detailed information on the resting and feeding areas of selected marine species and will support the Monitoring Program D 1,4 - Seabirds in Bulgaria and Romania.

The measure refers to the human activities in the marine environment mentioned/listed in art. 8 of Directive 2014/89/EU establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning. The measure does not cover military activities. The measure implementation involves preparatory activities for amending/adapting national legislation if necessary, public and sectoral consultations, and legislation adaptation.

This measure involves the development of a management tool to anticipate risks for the protection and conservation of habitats in protected areas, considering socio-economic activities with potential negative impact on them, given the location of protected areas in the coastal area, heavily anthropized. The implementation of the measure involves the following actions: 1. Identifying socio-economic activities with direct, indirect and cumulative impact on protected habitats; 2. Classification of habitats according to their sensitivity and vulnerability to potential adverse effects; 3. Use of modeling software (eg Marxan) to estimate / quantify risks and make the best management decisions for activities with a negative impact.

This measure aims to fulfilling Romania's obligations since the adoption of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive, which involves the coordination between all projects / activities of socio-economic development of the coastal area with the objectives of protection and conservation of habitats and species from marine protected areas. Actions required to implement this measure: 1. Adoption of a Joint Action Program concerning the objectives of socio-economic development included in the Zonal Urban Plans and those for the protection and conservation of marine protected areas through an Agreement between local administrative authorities, economic agents with coastal development interests and custodians / protected area administrators. 2. Personal training and acquisition of software required for spatial maritime planning by decision-making authorities; 3. The use (for the purpose of Maritime Spatial Planning) of decision-making tools, which facilitates the choice of the best options for the use of maritime space, taking into account the interactions between the socio-economic activities; 4. Public consultations with authorities responsible for maritime spatial planning in order to avoid conflicts of interest.

The measure was developed as a coordinated measure between Romania and Bulgaria in the framework of the European project (DG Environment) ""Technical and administrative support for the joint implementation of the Framework Directive"" Strategy for the Marine Environment ""in Bulgaria and Romania - Phase 2"" The measure aims to raise awareness among economic operators (fishermen, tourism operators, port operators, etc.) about the negative effects of the introduction of marine litter - reducing the pressure on sources. The implementation of the measure involves the following actions: 1. Capacity building events in the form of information campaigns and seminars (children, students and the general public); 2. Regular (annual) campaigns to encourage and promote beach cleaning and the creation of monitoring and collection of marine litter on a voluntary basis (in beach areas that have not been leased, on a contract basis, from the Water Basin Administration - Dobrogea- ). Seaside); 3. Regular awareness-raising campaigns for economic operators (fishermen, beach operators, commercial agents, etc.) on the negative impact of marine litter on their business and the conservation of biodiversity; 4. Strengthening control (eg compliance with the contractual provisions of beach operators, port operators, etc.).
