The main objective of LIFE IP – MarHa is to achieve a favourable conservation status for the marine habitats listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive.
The project has the following objectives:
- Management and governance to enable coordinated implementation of the Habitats Directive, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, and the Water Framework Directive.
- Improve capacity and tools to implement Natura 2000 policy; integrate marine users and activities.
- Take effective action to conserve and mitigate.
- Marine habitat conservation status assessments at biogeographic scales and monitoring tools for adaptive management.
- Enhanced international cooperation.
Among the expected results is the improvement of the conservation status for all French marine habitat types listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive with at least half of the habitats with good conservation status and no habitats with unknown conservation status.
