  3. INSTITUTE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA FOR NATURE CONSERVATION • CBD (Aichi) & EU target • By 2020, at least 17% of terrestrial and inland water, and 10% of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures. • RegionalWorkprogrammefortheMediterraneancoastaland marine protectedareas, includingthe open sea THIRD WORKSHOP ON MARITIME AFFAIRS Towards a strategy for the Adriatic Ionian Macro-Region Portorož, Hotel Bernardin 17.

  8. INSTITUTE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA FOR NATURE CONSERVATION activities & projects • undertake gap analyses to identify the ecosystems and other components of marine biodiversity that are under-represented in the existing national MPA systems and at basin level; • initiate studies on connectivity throughout the Adriatic (habitat mapping, tagging, genetics etc.) and agree on a common assessment methodology and on a monitoring plan that could be conducted on a regular basis; • based on the EBSA defined in the Adriatic, and the findings of the relevant recent investigations, further develop the identification of marine areas that could be proposed as protectedareas;
