The Common Fisheries Policy was introduced to effect the management of the common fisheries resource. It was established in 1983, revised in 1992 and is due for further revision in The 1992 revision added to its overall objectives, including many of the buzz-words found in the articles and annexes of the CBD and OSPAR Comm., in that it now aimed to: conserve available and accessible living marine aquatic resources; exploit resources in a sustainable manner; take account of marine environmental implications. Other EC policy also impinges directly on the manner in which we utilise the marine biological resources of the North Sea. For example, the Birds Directive, part of the EU Ramsar Convention, aims to protect species of wild birds and their natural habitat within the EU area. This includes seabird species. The Habitats Directive provides substantial detail on the selection of areas to be listed because of threat to habitat or species. Member states are required to designate Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) under this directive. It is intended that these sites should create a network of protected areas, called Natura Numerous marine sites in the North Sea have been designated as part of this process.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
