Guidance on developing a programme of measures for marine protection in Bulgaria

Abstract

Introduction: This Guidance Document has been developed in the context of the Advisory Assistance Programme (AAP) for environmental protection in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia and other countries neighbouring the European Union - a programme of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). The BMUB-financed AAP project with Bulgaria on "Implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive in Bulgaria - Development of Programmes of Measures under Art. 13" ran from 2015 to 2017 and was supervised by the German Environment Agency (UBA). UBA contracted Fresh Thoughts Consulting and InterSus to help provide advisory assistance to the Black Sea Basin Directorate (BSBD) within the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Water (MoEW). The main focus of the advisory assistance was on conceptual approaches, procedures and methodologies for establishing the national Programme of Measures (PoM) according to the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC, MSFD) and the implementation of the PoM in Bulgaria.
