Eklipse, a European science-policy mechanism dedicated to supporting better-informed decisions about biodiversity and ecosystem services, invites contributions of knowledge and expertise on the ecological requirements of marine habitat types and species for which Natura 2000 sites must be designated under the EU Birds and Habitats Directives. The input will assist Member States in establishing clear and measurable conservation objectives for marine habitats and species, thereby facilitating the implementation of effective conservation measures and achieving substantial conservation outcomes.

Why contribute

• Informed decision-making needs all types of knowledge.
• Draw attention to your field of expertise (reviewers will be acknowledged in the report’s final version).
• Value policy decisions based on the best available knowledge.

How to contribute

You may contribute with your comments, knowledge, initiatives and references through the Eklipse Survey.
