The Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention have emphasized the importance of the Ecosystem Approach (EcAp) process to the management of human activities with a view to conserving natural marine heritage and protecting vital ecosystem services. Considerable effort has been devoted since 2008 to implement this vision and strategic goal, through a roadmap including seven key steps. 2. The progress achieved to date in the implementation of the seven step process (identified for moving towards a more effective management) is reflected in several decisions adopted during the last ordinary Meetings of the Contracting Parties (i.e. Decision IG.17/6 of COP 15, Decision IG.20/4 of COP 17, Decision IG.21/3 of COP 18) 3. The 19th ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties (COP 19), held in Athens, in February 2016, adopted the Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (IMAP) of the Mediterranean Sea and Coast and Related Assessment Criteria (Decision IG.22/7). This Decision includes a specific list of good environmental status common indicators and targets, and principles of an integrated Mediterranean Monitoring and Assessment Programme, next to a clear timeline for the implementation of such programme. 4. IMAP, through Decision IG.22/7, lays down the principles for an integrated monitoring, regarding 11 Ecological Objectives and their related 27 common indicators belonging to three clusters: Biodiversity and Fisheries, Pollution and Marine litter, and Coast and Hydrography. 5. The common indicators to be monitored and assessed in relation to biodiversity (EO1), non-indigenous species (EO2) as well as fisheries (EO3) were also detailed in the decision. 6. During the initial phase of IMAP (2016-2019), the Contracting Parties will: Update their existing monitoring programmes (2016-2017) in order to cover the IMAP areas, common indicators in line with the IMAP, and, based on the Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Guidance, and Common Indicator Fact Sheets. It has to be noted that a number of Contracting Parties have already developed integrated national monitoring programmes; Continue reporting based on their existing national monitoring programmes until they are updated into a national Integrated Monitoring Programme; Following the update of their existing monitoring programmes, report quality assured data following a common regional monitoring reporting template; During national implementation, the Contracting Parties are encouraged to coordinate within and between each other in order to use resources in an efficient way. Shared UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.431/12 Rev.1 Page 5 monitoring stations and activities, information, and data could be steps towards this direction. 7. In light of the above, Guidance factsheets and Assessment factsheets were elaborated in order to provide to the Contracting Parties with concrete guidance to (i) support the implementation of their revised national monitoring programme towards the overall goal of implementing the Ecosystem Approach (EcAp) in the Mediterranean Sea and achieving Good Environmental Status (GES), and (ii) evaluate the status of the environment and then distance from EcAp targets, ecological objectives and Good Environmental Status (GES) description, respectively. 8. Guidance factsheets (UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.430/3) and Assessment factsheets (UNEP(DEPI)/MED WG.430/4) were initially presented and reviewed during the Meeting of the Correspondance Group on Monitoring (CORMON) Biodiversity and Fisheries held in Madrid, Spain, from 28 February to 1 March 2017. 9. Participants to the CORMON meeting on Biodiversity and Fisheries provided suggestions, comments and recommendations pertaining to further work on indicators with a view to revising and finalizing the factsheets for consideration by the EcAp Coordination Group, the MAP Focal Points meeting and eventually COP 20. 10. Due to the tight time frame between the CORMON and the SPA Focal Point meetings, Guidance and Assessment factsheets, presented in the present document, were only

  • Classification and Systematic Arrangement
    Introduction 13 CLASSIFICATION AND SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT Considering that the purpose of this document is to Class Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) provide a simple user-friendly guide for species identification, no reference will be found here to Subclass Holocephali (chimaeras) dichotomy keys for single species. It is important that the classification used in this guide be defined, Order Chimaeriformes (chimaera and silver sharks) as available literature is not always in agreement Subclass Elasmobranchii (sharks) with this presentation. The classification of this group is still under review as no consensus has Superorder Squalomorphi (squalomorph sharks) been found to reconcile different authors’ positions. Order Hexanchiformes (cow and frilled sharks) For more information and further specific details on the taxonomy and biology of cartilaginous fish Order Squaliformes (dogfish sharks) species, refer to Tortonese, 1956; Hureau and Monod 1979; Whitehead et al., 1984; Fischer et al., Order Squatiniformes (angel sharks) 1987; Fredj and Maurin, 1987; Compagno, 1988, 2005; Nelson, 1994; Shirai, 1996; Mould, 1998. The Order Pristiophoriformes (sawsharks) * consultation of FishBase http://www.fishbase.org Order Rajiformes (batoids) (Froese and Pauly, 2000) proved very useful. The most fundamental references are Compagno’s Superorder Galeomorphi (galeomorph sharks) catalogues issued in 1984 and his recent revision partially issued in 2001. Order Heterodontiformes (bullhead sharks) * This guide follows the systematic organization Order
