Under the Aichi targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Target 6 under Strategic Goal B is to ensure that fisheries have no significant adverse impacts on threatened species and vulnerable ecosystems and the impacts of fisheries on stocks, species and ecosystems are within safe ecological limits. There are also binding obligations under the EU Habitats Directive to monitor bycatch and address conservation concerns, while the Marine Strategy Framework Directive requires member states to ensure good environmental status GES, and the UK sees continued bycatch monitoring and mitigation as key to ensuring GES is maintained Marine Strategy Part Three: UK Programme of Measures December 2015.
