LEGISLATION AND POLICY CONTEXT Sample Clauses

LEGISLATION AND POLICY CONTEXT. The monitoring of cetacean bycatch is a mandatory requirement for Member States under the following EU legislation: Article 12(4) of the Habitats Directive (No.92/43/EC) (the “Habitats Directive”) requires Member States to establish a system to monitor the incidental capture and killing of cetaceans and to undertake further research or conservation measures as required. Bycatch monitoring has been carried out by a specific bycatch monitoring programme, by monitoring cetacean strandings, and also through research projects targeting specific fisheries implicated in bycatch. Council Regulation (EC) No. 812/2004, aimed at reducing cetacean bycatch, requires specified fisheries to be monitored at certain levels (as specified in 4 and 5 below) to try to identify and quantify any bycatch problems within those fisheries. It also requires monitoring of the effectiveness of acoustic deterrent devices known as “pingers” in deterring cetaceans from becoming entangled in fishing nets and thereby reducing their incidental catch (bycatch). The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC) (the “Marine Strategy Framework Directive”) came into force in the UK in July 2010. The Directive seeks to achieve good environmental status in European seas by 2020. A monitoring programme to measure progress toward Good Environmental Status will be established by July 2014, and a programme of measures by 2016. Monitoring and reducing cetacean bycatch is likely to be one of the actions taken by the UK to demonstrate and achieve good environmental status in UK seas.
