Toward a common approach for assessing the conservation status of marine turtle species within the european marine strategy framework directive

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Environmental policies, including the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), generally rely on the measurement of indicators to assess the good environmental status (GES) and ensure the protection of marine ecosystems. However, depending on

Marine Strategy Framework Directive - Descriptor 3+ (MSFD D3) [PDF]

, 2012
Revised 22 February 2012. This report describes the process undertaken by ICES to provide guidance to support EU Member States (MS) in the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Di-rective (MSFD) Descriptor 3 (D3), commercially exploited fish and shellfish. The re-port also describes the potential role of ‘ecosystem’ indicators collected under

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Long-Term Fluctuations in Cetacean Occurrence Derived From Whale-Watching Platforms Off Southwest Gran Canaria: Evaluating Their Potential as an Ecological Indicator. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using an 18‐year dataset of whale‐watching observations from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands), we analysed long‐term temporal dynamics of cetacean communities in the subtropical Atlantic. Standardised sightings per unit effort (SPUE) revealed strong seasonal patterns, multi‐year fluctuations and species‐specific responses to environmental variability ...

Integrated chemical status of the Italian marine waters sensu Descriptor 8 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) required Member States to define the concept of Good Environmental Status (GES) of their marine waters in quantitative terms and to achieve it through the assessment of 11 descriptors by 2020. ISPRA

Predicting Coastal Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen Levels by Applying Data-Driven Modelling: The Case Study of Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
A surfeit of Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN), which is defined as the total amount of nitrite, nitrate, and ammonium levels in water, may cause negative effects to the marine environment.

Marine Strategy Framework Directive - Thresholds for MSFD criteria: state of play and next steps [PDF]

, 2022
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires that Good Environmental Status (GES) should be achieved in EU marine waters as described by eleven environmental Descriptors, each of them assessed by several GES Criteria.

THE ROLE OF THE FISHERIES SECTOR IN THE PROCESS OF SEA PROTECTION AND MARITIME PLANNING

Albanian Journal of Natural and Technical Sciences, 2021
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is the environmental pillar of European maritime policy designed to create a framework for sustainable use of the continent’s marine waters. The MSFD aims to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) of the EU'

Network indices show heat wave‐induced fragility in experimental food webs: Operational insights for ecosystem management [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Emerging global change imposes challenges for marine ecosystems placing them at the verge of collapse. The identification of early signs of ecosystem collapse is crucial to assist adaptive management. Shifts in the ecosystems are preceded by rewiring of ecological networks.

Dynamic Coastal-Shelf Seascapes to Support Marine Policies Using Operational Coastal Oceanography: The French Example

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
In the context of maritime spatial planning and the implementation of spatialized Good Environmental Status indicators in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), the definition of a mosaic composed of coherent and standardised spatial units is ...
