Abstract

The MSFD aims to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) of the EU's marine waters by 2020 and to protect the resource base upon which marine-related economic and social activities depend. In order to achieve GES by 2020, each Member State is required to develop a strategy for its marine waters (a "Marine Strategy") which must be kept up-to-date and reviewed every 6 years. What they consider as being "good environmental status" (GES) and on the environmental targets they set themselves in order to reach GES by 2020 (Articles 8, 9 and 10 of the MSFD). The setting of monitoring programs was required to be completed by 2014 (Article 11 of the MSFD), and the programs of measures (PoMs) had to be established by 2015 and made operational within one year of their establishment (Article 13 of the MSFD).
