Objective 3.8.1. Capacity building. Training sessions are organised in areas relevant to
locations listed in Goal Target 3.1-3.7, with the support of the MSTF (see Objective Target
1.2.2.1). Training will concentrate, at least initially, on mitigating the main threats to monk
seals (deliberate killing, habitat degradation, and accidental entanglements), and will target
stakeholders identified by the MSTF (e.g., fishermen, tourist operators, enforcement officers,
judges). Training will be developed together with the local groups, and will be followed by a
constant “advice service” or accompanying process to ensure that full advantage is taken
from the effort.

Goal 4. Monk seal presence is again reported in the species’ historical habitat
in “Group C” countries, and these “Group C” countries are upgraded to
“Group B”. Once all “Group C” countries are upgraded, Group C is deleted.

Goal Target 4.1. Monk seal presence is reported again from Corsica and continental
France.

Objective 4.1.1. Regular monitoring of monk seal presence and awareness actions are
conducted in the species’ historical habitat in Corsica and continental France.

Goal Target 4.2. Monk seal presence is reported from Montenegro, Bosnia Herzegovina
and Slovenia.

Objective 4.2.1. Regular monitoring of monk seal presence and awareness actions are
conducted in the species’ historical habitat in Montenegro, Bosnia Herzegovina and
Slovenia.

Goal Target 4.3. Monk seal presence is reported from Malta.

Objective 4.3.1. Regular monitoring of monk seal presence and awareness actions are
conducted in the species’ historical habitat in Malta.

Goal Target 4.4. Implementation of Goal Targets 4.1-4.3. is enabled through appropriate
capacity building activities.

Objective 4.4.1. Capacity building: training courses are organised in locations listed in Goal
Targets 4.1-4.3, with the support of the Monk Seal Task Force (see Objective Target
1.2.2.1).
