Natura 2000


Description:

Natura 2000 is a network of core breeding and resting sites for rare and threatened species, and some rare natural habitat types which are protected in their own right. It stretches across all 28 EU countries, both on land and at sea. 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.


MSP Challenge 2050:

Within the MSP Challenge Game the Natura2000 areas are protected areas used to fully protect, or indicate protection, against specific ecological impacts, including;

  • Fishing Fleets
  • Shipping
  • Wind Turbines

Type Overview:

Fishing Type Impact:

The following table indicates the t/km2 catch on the basic settings of the game. Increasing or decreasing the fishing effort will result in increased impact on the following groups.

Group name Bottom Trawl Industrial Trawl Drift and Fixed Nets
Flatfish 0,675 0,001 0,008
Cod 0,119 0,003
Demersal 0,072 0,003
Sandeel 0,000 0,000
Herring 0,002 0,000
Mackerel 0,008 0,210 0,001
Benthic 0,112 0,010 0,000
Cetaceans N/A N/A N/A
