| Target code/description | LUVAyleinen: Use of natural resources is ecologically sustainable and does not risk achieving or maintaining good state. LUONTO4: Migration barriers for river-migrating fish decrease and area of suitable spawning habitats increases LUONTO4: Migration barriers for river-migrating fish decrease and area of suitable spawning habitats increases. ALUE1: Maritime spatial planning is carried out in a way that it advances the achievement of good environmental status in marine environment. LUVA1: Managing the coastal fisheries secures its sustainability for the most important target species, support biological diversity and not risk achievement of good state. LUVA2: Area-specific restoration and management plans improve the state of sea trout populations. |
Target 10: Target 10 - fishing is carried out sustainably and in ecologically safe limits (fishing mortality (F) is lower than the level that would provide maximum sustainable yield (Fmsy)). Target 11: Target 11 - 50% of the commercially important fish stocks in Estonian waters are in good environmental status. |
JVM2: Exploration of marine resources is sustainable and is not causing degradation of marine environment |
1: Ensure that the exploitation intensity of commercially exploited fish populations does not exceed safe biological limits and preserves the structure of the Baltic Sea food web. In the paper report “NATIONAL PROGRAMME OF MEASURES FOR 2017-2023 TO ACHIEVE AND / OR MAINTAIN THE GOOD STATUS OF THE BALTIC SEA ENVIRONMENT” (2017), this objective is divided into two separate objectives:
No. 1: Ensure that the exploitation intensities of commercially exploited fish populations do not exceed safe biological limits;
No. 2: Preserve the structure of the Baltic Sea food web (optimal diversity, size and abundance of organisms) so as not to disrupt the transmission of nutrients in the food chain.
|
PL_Target_D3: The goal is to maintain a population of commercially exploited fish and shellfish within safe biological limits meeting natural conditions by ensuring the exploitation of all commercially exploited fish stocks at or below the level of maximum sustainable yield ensuring that all commercially exploited fish are within safe biological limits and by restricting or maintaining the exploitation of fish stocks at a level that ensures their full reproductive capacity and full range of age and individual sizes. PL_Target_D3_Cod 24-32: Maintaining decreasing trend of cod catches in order to reach fishing mortality and spawning stock biomass at a level that ensures that maximum sustainable yield is maintained for the stock. PL_Target_D3_Herring 25-29 and 32 Ex GoR: Maintaining exploitation of herring stock in area 25-29 and 32 ExGoR at a level ensuring the maintenance of current or reduced level of fishing mortality and at least the current spawning stock biomass. PL_Target_D3C1: Maintaining the exploitation of commercially exploited fish stocks at or below maximum sustainable yield ensuring, that all commercially exploited fish species are within safe biological limits. PL_Target_D3C3: Reducing the exploitation of commercially exploited fish stocks to the level ensuring the achievement of the full and natural age and size distribution of individuals in the populations. PL_Target_D3_Flounder 24-25: Maintaining exploitation of flounder at a level ensuring maintaining the present level of fishing mortality and the spawning stock biomass increasing trend. PL_Target_D3_Sprat 22-32: Not increasing the current level of exploitation of sprat stock in area 22-32 to maintain decreasing trend in fishing mortality and at least the current spawning stock biomass. PL_Target_D3C2: Maintaining the exploitation of commercially exploited fish stocks at the level ensuring full reproductive capacity of the stocks. |
UZO4: The global objective is: "Seas with sustainably and carefully used resources". The objective is implemented by means of the operational objectives TSO4.1, UZO4.2, UZO4.3, UZO4.4, UZO4.5 and UZO4.6. The environmental objectives established in 2012 and their description under the 2012 MSFD report continue to apply. They are the basis for the 2016-2021 programme of measures for notified to the European Commission in 2016. Since the implementation of the measures was only started in 2016, an assessment of the progress and effectiveness of the measures as a basis for updating the environmental objectives is often not yet possible. Where possible, the text report shows the achievement of objectives and/or the state of implementation of the measures. Only in individual cases where an indicator assessment is available on progress towards achieving the target will this be reported in the Progress Assessment.
UZO4.1: All commercially exploited stocks are managed on the basis of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) approach. The environmental objectives established by Germany in 2012 are the basis for the 2016-2021 programme of measures notified to the European Commission in 2016. Since the implementation of the measures was only started in 2016, an assessment of the progress and effectiveness of the measures as a basis for updating the environmental objectives is often not yet possible. Where possible, the text report shows the achievement of objectives and/or the state of implementation of the measures. Only in individual cases where an indicator assessment on progress towards achieving the target is available, this will this be reported in the Progress Assessment. UZO4.2: Stocks of harvested species have an age and size structure in which all ages and sizes continue to be represented resembling natural conditions. The environmental objectives established by Germany in 2012 are the basis for the 2016-2021 programme of measures notified to the European Commission in 2016. Since the implementation of the measures was only started in 2016, an assessment of the progress and effectiveness of the measures as a basis for updating the environmental objectives is often not yet possible. Where possible, the text report shows the achievement of objectives and/or the state of implementation of the measures. Only in individual cases where an indicator assessment is available on progress towards achieving the target will this be reported in the Progress Assessment. UZO4.4: Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing in accordance with EC Regulation Nr.1005/2008 is approaching zero. The environmental objectives established by Germany in 2012 are the basis for the 2016-2021 programme of measures notified to the European Commission in 2016. Since the implementation of the measures was only started in 2016, an assessment of the progress and effectiveness of the measures as a basis for updating the environmental objectives is often not yet possible. Where possible, the text report shows the achievement of objectives and/or the state of implementation of the measures. Only in individual cases where an indicator assessment is available on progress towards achieving the target will this be reported in the Progress Assessment. |
DK-T3.3: Within the framework of the common fisheries policy, spawning biomass (B) exceeds the level that can ensure a maximum sustainable yield (MSY Btrigger). DK-T3.2: Within the framework of the common fisheries policy, fish mortality (F) is at levels that can ensure a maximum sustainable yield (FMSY). DK-T3.1: The number of commercially exploited fished stocks regulated pursuant to the MSY principles in the Common Fisheries Policy is increasing. |
BALSE-C.4_Samhälle_fisk_förkomst_art_storlek: C.4 Presence, species composition of species, and size distribution in the fish community must make it possible to maintain important functions in the food web. (HVMFS 2012:29).
BALSE-C.3_Population_fisk_ålder_storlek_bestånd: C.3 The populations of all naturally occurring fish species and shellfish affected by fishing have an age and size structure, as well as a stock size that guarantee their long-term sustainability. |
