Many investments have been made in recent years by various research centres, for analysis and research work on fauna and flora, with a view to establish the marine park.

6. When assessing the technical and financial capabilities of an applicant for a licence, special attention shall be paid to any environmentally sensitive marine and coastal environments, in particular ecosystems which play an important role in mitigation and adaptation to climate change, such as salt marshes and sea grass beds, and marine protected areas, such as special areas of conservation pursuant to the Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild ...[+++]fauna and flora , special protection areas pursuant to the Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds , and marine protected areas as agreed by the Union or Member States concerned within the framework of any international or regional agreements to which they are a party.

The establishment of marine protected areas, including areas already designated or to be designated under Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Habitats Directive’), Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Birds Directive’), and under international or regional agreements to which the European Community or Member States ...[+++] concerned are Parties, is an important contribution to the achievement of good environmental status under this Directive.

Environmental disasters such as oil spills have devastating consequences for birds and the marine fauna and flora.

Also, there are moves afoot in a number of international fora to protect marine vulnerable habitats which already figure as habitats of Community interest in the 1992 Habitats Directive on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora.

The European Community runs various activities in the different sectors concerned as part of its numerous research cooperation programmes: Brite/Euram (industrial and material technologies); Mast (marine sciences and technology); and research programmes in the fields of the environment, fisheries and energy, etc. 1 The press file for the conference can be had from office BREY 6/41. - 2 - The conference will provide an opportunity for taking stock of the state of progress and initial results of a number of projects currently under way: projects to develop composite materials for offshore platforms and to apply computer assisted design m ...[+++]ethods to shipbuilding (Brite/Euram programme); projects to study the natural variability of and changes in benthic ecosystems (fauna and flora connected with the seabed) (Mast programme); "Eros 2000" project to study pollution at river mouths; study of eutrophication (pollution due to algae) of coastal waters (Environment programme); development of systems to optimize shipping routes (pilot projects in the field of energy); activities of the Joint Research Centre on the study of the sea by remote sensing, etc.
