Implementation details

In general, to reduce risks and impacts on marine mammals related to boating and shipping, the management lever promoted is to reduce speed limits inside MPA and in known key life-cycle areas and migration routes. To support the identification of key life-cycle areas and migration routes, used the ESE1 criteria Ecological corridors/Migration routes, Nurseries and breeding grounds and Developmental and Feeding/Foraging habitats. Other criteria can be found in the macro-criterion Functional Hotspots (Presence of key functional species and areas).
