EU and global marine policies

The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) builds on all the existing legal instruments for the protection of the marine environment and the sustainable development of maritime sectors, integrating their objectives into a coherent framework that contributes the achievement of the objectives of wider EU policies for environmental protection and sustainability, such as the EU Green Deal and the Biodiversity Strategy 2030.
