Call for proposals 2018 - Marine Strategy Framework Directive - Second Cycle: Implementation of the new GES Decision and Programmes of Measures DG ENV/MSFD 2018 Closed!
Objectives
The three main general objectives for this call, to support MSFD implementation, are:
- support the (sub)regional assessment of the extent to which GES has been achieved. Focus on implementation of the new GES Decision particularly through the further development and operationalisation of indicators and the establishment of threshold values for each (sub)region, together with associated lists of elements and integration rules, which will lead to updated, improved and more complete (sub)regional assessments;
- support the quantification of the effect of the PoMs, including through linking monitoring programmes with measures. The effect of measures should be estimated against their objective (i.e. how each measure is designed to help reaching GES and the updated environmental targets) and against their results (i.e. monitoring the effect of each measure in reducing the levels of pressures into or in the marine environment and their impacts on the marine environment), while being transparent about the methods and assumptions underlying the analysis.
- the establishment of new (sub)regionally-coordinated measures, where needed, (for instance, in relation to pressures that need consistent or coordinated action across the (sub)region in order for the measures to be effective, measures that have synergistic effects for several descriptors or that have transboundary implications)
