BB18 - Marine mammal bycatch (M6)

 
FieldDescriptionValidated Entry
[Table title]Name of monitoring programmeMarine mammal bycatch (M6)
[ProgrammeDescription]Description of the monitoring programmeMonitoring of marine mammal bycatch is carried out through two broad approaches: dedicated studies/programmes and/or data collection through national fisheries sampling schemes.  Few countries have implemented dedicated marine mammal bycatch monitoring programmes; most rely on DCF sampling schemes. Dedicated monitoring programmes/studies have used observers (e.g. UK) or remote electronic monitoring systems (e.g. Denmark)
[OtherPoliciesConventions]Monitoring for other Union legislation or international agreements that contributes to the programme.OSP-CEMP
[Contracting Parties monitoring]

Which other countries are involved in practical implementation of this monitoring programme, and what is the degree of cooperation.

Coordinated data collection (dellivered seperately by each country)
BE, DE, DK, ES, FR, IE, IS, NL, NO, PT, SE, UK
[Contracting Parties supplying data] DE, DK, ES, FR, IE,  IS, NL, NO, PT, SE, UK
[Contracting Parties with an "opt out"]  
[Temporal scope]Start (and end) date of the programme.2004 - 9999
[Spatial scope]Spatial coverage of the programme according to the jurisdictional zones of marine waters.Coastal waters (WFD)
EEZ (or similar, e.g. Contiguous Zone, Fishing Zone, Ecological Protection Zone)
[Aggregation of Data]At which scale can the data from the sub-programme be aggregated for environmental assessments?Region, Sub-region & other - Assessments are conducted at the scale of species specific assessment units as recommended by ICES Advice 2014, Book 1, Section 1.6.6.1. (From dropdown in  EU Monitoring reporting). Some species AUs are compatible with the NE Atlantic region and its sub-regions, others are not.
