Overfishing has very negative consequences for the food web; not only for the ‘target species’ but for the marine ecosystem as a whole. It also impacts on biodiversity, which must be preserved and, where necessary, restored. The establishment of protected areas is currently one of the instruments recognised as a means to facilitate the con-servation of marine ecosystems.
The qualitative descrip-tors for the determination of a ‘good environmental status’ contained in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)3 not only assume that biodiversity is to be main-tained, but also relate specifically to the components of the marine food webs. All elements of the marine food webs should exhibit a normal frequency and diversity, whereby even the populations of all of the commercially exploited fish and shellfish should remain within safe biological lim-its. The population age and size distributions should be indicative of a healthy stock.4 Much work is required if this is to be anything more than just a utopian ideal. It is, in this respect, also worth investigating restrictions on sea fisheries, and the corresponding legal foundations, as such restrictions, especially in respect of ‘bottom fishing activi-ties,’5 must be taken into consideration in the context of nature protection measures.6 Fishing methods employing bottom set gill nets and beam trawls fish not only the dem-ersal populations - the ground fish - more or less selec-tively, but also damage the ecosystem directly. It was this fact that led the European Union to stop bottom trawling in areas where coldwater corals are found.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
