BirdLife International submitted a joint position of 26 NGOs on the EU proposal for Directive on maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal management (MSF-ICM Directive).
They emphasize that the Directive should put environment at its heart. They warn that unless the decisions based on the Directive are made to ensure health of the environment and on the precautionary principle, the EU’s ’Blue Growth’ agenda will never be sustainable. In care of sea birds and entire marine environment in Slovenia and broader DOPPS – BirdLife Slovenia joins this common position.
