Marine Strategy, Part 3

The Marine Strategy for the Dutch Part of the North Sea, Part 3, concerns the programme of measures. This programme – as an appendix to the 2015 – 2021 National Water Plan – also forms an integral part of the 2015 – 2021 North Sea Policy Document.

This programme contains measures which, based on the initial assessment of the marine environment, are required to meet the environmental targets defined for the Dutch Part of the North Sea. The Member States are required to implement their programme of measures in 2016.

The programme of measures in any event includes spatial protection measures pursuant to the EU Birds and Habitat Directives.

As soon as the programme of measures is available, we will post it on the IHM (Informatiehuis Marien) website so that you may consult it.
