“…La notion de potentialité biologique préfigura celle du « bon potentiel écologique » exigé par la DCE pour les eaux très artificialisées. La DCE reprit aussi la notion de « conditions de référence » malgré le caractère contesté de la notion d'« équilibre naturel » au sein de l'écologie scientifique (Bouleau et Pont, 2015). .…”

“…This challenge prompted suggestions to replace this reference-based strategy with an objective-based one (Dufourd and Piegay 2009;Bouleau and Pont 2015). This means a strategy that responds realistically to the challenges of establishing sustainable ecosystems by refocusing on achievable and desirable outcomes: the ecosystem services generated by a functioning ecosystem.…”

Protecting and Restoring Biodiversity across the Freshwater, Coastal and Marine Realms: Is the existing EU policy framework fit for purpose?

While some progress has been made, Europe is far from achieving its policy objective of healthy aquatic ecosystems. This paper presents an integrated assessment of how EU policies influence aquatic biodiversity, in order to determine how EU policies and laws contribute to achieving and/or hindering EU and international biodiversity targets. The paper also discusses whether European policy has a synergistic or conflicting mix of instruments to address the main problems facing aquatic biodiversity, and whether gaps in the existing policy framework exist. The integrated policy review assessment presented in this paper is based on the application of the drivers-pressures-state-impact-responses (DPSIR) framework to six known pressures on aquatic biodiversity, selected to provide a representative range: nitrogen pollution, species extraction, invasive alien species, water abstraction, alterations to morphology, and plastic waste. The DPSIR framework is used to characterize these pressures and how they are influenced by underpinning socio-economic drivers and major European policies. The conclusions highlight that the policy framework is most developed when it comes to defining environmental targets and sets a number of instruments to reduce pressures by encouraging the adoption of more resourceefficient practices, but it becomes less specific when tackling sectors (drivers) and supporting more environmental sound economic development.
