Nationally designated areas (CDDA)
EEA has during 2012 and as part of preparing the “Protected Areas in Europe” report 2012, discovered a gap in the data contained within the CDDA. The gap is in regard to the nationally designated marine areas, which seems to be lacking a number of national site designations.
The CDDA 2013 call have additional focus on nationally designated marine areas not otherwise reported under the Natura 2000 Directives or under other international agreements e.g. under the Regional Sea Conventions. The process has been further elaborated in the Commission paper “Marine protected areas under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive” as agreed at the Marine Expert Group meeting on 6th November 2012.
