Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)

The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is a European policy aimed at protecting and preserving the health of our seas and oceans. It encourages countries to work together to maintain good environmental status by managing activities that impact marine ecosystems, reducing pollution, and conserving biodiversity. The goal is to ensure that seas remain clean, safe, and productive for future generations while supporting sustainable use of their resources. Essentially, the MSFD provides a comprehensive framework to keep our marine environments healthy and resilient.
