MOSES project - WP6 - Vector 4 - protection of coastal areas

It is related to EU SCIs (Coastal Sites of Community Importance).

Natura 2000 is the largest coordinated network of protected areas in the world. The aim of the network is to ensure the long-term survival of Europe’s most valuable and threatened species and habitats, listed under both the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive. This vector tries to capture the effect of the Natura 2000 network on maintaining the resilience of ecosystems, especially in the marine environment.

Statement

The annual information on the sites is obtained from the Commis- sion. In order to reflect the changes proposed by the Member States in the list of Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) and to ensure that all new sites have a clearly defined legal status, the Commission proceeds to an annual update of the Union lists which is published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Vector four data have been obtained from the Official Journal of the European Union (2015-

2017), from the European database on Natura 2000 sites (updated until 2017) and finally from the national websites on Natura 2000 sites in the countries belonging to MOSES.
