The Directive requires Member States to take measures to achieve or maintain Good Environmental Status (GES) for their seas by 2020. GES involves protecting the marine environment, preventing its deterioration and restoring it where practical, while using marine resources sustainably. For the UK, the Directive is part of a package of policies, united by our vision for \u2018clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas\u2019. The Directive\u2019s aims are consistent with this vision and current policies, such as the implementation of the Marine and Coastal Access Act, and the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy will play a major role in helping us achieve GES.<\/p>\n

The joint consultation between Defra, the Northern Ireland Executive, the Scottish Government and the Welsh Government was held between 8 January and 2 April 2014. The consultation sought views on the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). We are grateful for all the comments we received.<\/p>\n

You can see further details on the Directive: www.gov.uk\/government\/policies\/protecting-and-sustainably-using-the-marine-environment\/supporting-pages\/implementing-the-marine-strategy-framework-directive<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have further questions, please contact Defra: MSFDTeam@defra.gsi.gov.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Next Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n

A future consultation will be held to cover proposals for the UK programmes of measures for achieving GES early 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
