Aim of directive – to achieve or maintain the good
environmental status by 2020
Pressures:
 Overfishing,
 Nutrient and organic enrichment
 Contamination by hazardous subtances
 Pollution with
petroleum
 Introduction of non-indigenous species
 Climate changes
Loss of biodiversity, degradation of
habitats
Transposition
 Emergency Governmental Ordinance 71/2010, and
adopted by Law 6/2011, and amended by Law
205/2013
Implementation:
- Initial assessment (art.8)
- Determination of GES (art.9)
- Set up the environmental targets (art. 10)
- Reporting – written national report (15 July 2012)
- sheets – ( 15 October 2012)
-Monitoring programme (art.11) – reporting -December
2014
- Programme of measures – March 2016
Technical and administrative support for the
joint implementation of the Marine Strategy
Framework Directive (MSFD) in Bulgaria and
Romania (phase I)
Aim of the phase I of the project – support both MS
to set up the common monitoring programme in
the Black Sea marine region (art.6)
Outcomes of the project :





common indicators, GES and environmental
targets
monitoring fact sheets
developing of joint work plan
maintaining the information exchange
platform
developing a public web page


Updated programme of monitoring:
- 11 programme for each descriptor,
- subprogramme
Improvements
 Increasing the number of sampling stations in marine waters
 Review of methodological requirements to set up the GES values for all
descriptors
 Increasing the number of biological elements studied which compose the
web food (macroalgae, zooplankton, non-commercial fish, dolphins
population, sea birds)
 Collecting samples of marine litter
 Initiation of monitoring of energy and noise that affect the structure of the
marine ecosystem

Input controls: management measures that
influence the amount of a human activity that
is permitted.
Output controls: management measures that
influence the degree of perturbation of an
ecosystem component that is permitted.
Spatial and temporal distribution controls:
management measures that influence where
and when an activity is allowed to occur.


Management coordination measures: tools to
ensure that management is coordinated.
Measures to improve the traceability, where
feasible, of marine pollution
Economic incentives: management measures which
make it in the economic interest of those using the
marine ecosystems to act in ways which help to
achieve or maintain the good environmental status
objective.
Mitigation and remediation tools: management
tools which guide human activities to restore
damaged components of marine ecosystems.
