impinging on each site, and the type of risks involved depending on what will appear to be
the type of habitat use by the monk seals.
Goal Target 3.1. Monk seal presence in Italy, and in particular in the Egadi Islands, in
locations around Sardinia, and in the Tuscan Archipelago, is permanently established, and
monk seal breeding resumes.
Objective 3.1.1. Monitoring of monk seal distribution, abundance and behaviour (including
eventual pup production) is continued in the Egadi islands.
Objective Target 3.1.1.1. Non-invasive and scientifically sound monitoring
technologies, applied to caves in appropriate locations within the Egadi Islands MPA,
is continued and enhanced.
Objective Target 3.1.1.2. A programme involving local fishermen in the monitoring
programme around the Egadi Islands MPA (also targeted at increasing their
awareness), is continued and enhanced.
Objective 3.1.2. Regular monitoring of monk seal presence and awareness actions are
conducted in areas historically containing monk seal habitat in Sardinia.
Objective 3.1.3. Regular monitoring of monk seal presence and awareness actions are
conducted in areas historically containing monk seal habitat in the Tuscan Archipelago.
Goal Target 3.2. Monk seal presence in Croatia, and in particular in specific localities of the
Dalmatian archipelago and southern Istria, is permanently established, and monk seal
breeding resumes.
Objective 3.1.3. Monk seal ecology and behaviour (including eventual pup production) is
monitored in selected locations of the Dalmatian Archipelago and of the Istria Peninsula, and
awareness action is conducted in the area.
Objective Target 3.1.3.1. Non-invasive and scientifically sound monitoring
technologies are applied to caves in Istria and selected Dalmatian islands, starting in
2014.
Objective Target 3.1.3.2. Awareness actions are conducted in Croatia, targeting
local residents and visitors.

permanently established, and monk seal breeding is reported.
