| Abstract |
Fisheries and marine litter experts from Seas At Risk member organisations, as well as the Coalition Clean Baltic, undertook an in-depth assessment of EU Member States Programmes of Measures for fisheries and litter under the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Experts found that while Member States were clearly making efforts and some progress, the measures were not sufficiently ambitious and effective to tackle the threats facing the marine environment. Much more political resolve will be necessary to implement the urgent measures needed to achieve the Directive’s objectives for fisheries and litter by 2020 and avoid infraction. |
