Conservation policy and legislation
From Coastal Wiki
Since International and European relations often work best within a framework of agreed legal instruments, considerable effort has been devoted to developing a series of conventions and other international and European instruments that promote the conservation of marine biological diversity.
These include:
- Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
- EU Common Fisheries Policy
- EC Habitats Directive
- SAC (Special Areas of Conservation)
- EC Bird Directive
- SPA (special Protected Areas)
- MPAs (Marine Protected Areas)
- ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management)
- EBM (Ecosystem based Management)
