This strategy outlines the measures that contribute to the achievement and maintenance of GES in UK seas by 2020. It is the final part in our marine strategy and complements the existing parts of the strategy:

• Marine strategy part one sets out an initial assessment of our seas and characteristics, targets and indicators of GES
• Marine strategy part two sets out monitoring programmes for measuring progress towards GES

The aim of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is for EU member states to put in place measures to achieve GES in their marine waters by 2020.
