Measure name
Amendment of existing legislation, if necessary, regarding maritime activities through the introduction of a permit regime for activities in marine territorial waters
Measure description
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.

Measure purpose
Establish monitoring programmes (of relevant activities, pressures or impacts)
Pressures
  • Disturbance of species (e.g. where they breed, rest and feed) due to human presence
  • Extraction of, or mortality/injury to, wild species (by commercial and recreational fishing and other activities)
  • Input of litter (solid waste matter, including micro-sized litter)
  • Input of nutrients - diffuse sources, point sources, atmospheric deposition
  • Input of organic matter - diffuse sources and point sources
  • Input of other forms of energy (including electromagnetic fields, light and heat)
  • Input of water - point sources (e.g. brine)
Relevant KTMs
  • MSFD27
  • Measures for the phasing-out of emissions
  • Measures to prevent or control the adverse impacts of fishing and other exploitation/removal of animal and plants
  • Measures to prevent or control the adverse impacts of recreation including angling
  • Measures to prevent or control the input of pollution from urban areas
  • Measures to reduce biological disturbances in the marine environment from the extraction of species including incidental non-target catches
  • Measures to reduce contamination by hazardous substances (synthetic substances
  • Measures to reduce inputs of energy to the marine environment
  • Measures to reduce interferences with hydrological processes in the marine environment (beyond WFD Coastal waters)
  • Measures to reduce marine litter
  • Measures to reduce nutrient and organic matter inputs to the marine environment from sea-based or air-based sources
  • Measures to reduce other types of biological disturbance
  • Measures to reduce physical loss of seabed habitats in the marine environment (beyond WFD coastal waters)
  • Measures to reduce sea-based accidental pollution
  • Measures to reduce the introduction and spread of non-indigenous species in the marine environment and for their control
