Name of MPA:
KOBBERHAGE KYSTAREALER
Close window
Official name of the marine protected area
Original name of MPA:
Kobberhage kystarealer
Close window
For European countries, the name and the original name are often the same. However, the original name displays accents for names in Spanish, Portuguese and French.
Country:
Denmark
Designation in national language:
Marine protected area (OSPAR )
Close window
Category of protected area officially established and nationally recognized as such.
Designation in English:
Marine protected area (OSPAR )
Designation type:
international
Close window
A designation may be either 'national' or 'international'.
A designation is ‘National' when it has legal value at national level and applies to sitesin the national territory.
A designation is 'International' when referring to a protected area recognizedunder an international convention or treaty (MAB/OSPAR/RAMSAR/N2000/World Heritage/ etc.).
For sites designated by a text concerning more than one country, their designation type will be 'International'.
The designation type is 'International‘ even if the text covering several countries has been transposed into national legislation, i.e. sites designated under the 'Habitats' or Natura 2000 'Birds' directives.
IUCN Category:
Not applicable
Close window
The IUCN has agreed upon a definition of what is/is not a protected area. It then identified six different categories of protected areas based on the management objectives.Protected areas exist in incredibly diverse forms (sizes, locations, approaches and management objectives[Dudley, N. (Editor) (2008). Guidelines for Applying Protected Area Management Categories. Gland, Switzerland: IUCN. x + 86pp].
In some countries, the IUCN committees have drawn up a table to match IUCN categories to national designations.When this correspondence has not been done, the information shall not be reported here.

Status:
Designated
Close window
A marine protected area may have various levels of progress. This is indicated by its 'status' which may be:
- proposed: the project to establish the marine protected area is in progress,
- designated: the marine protected area is officially designated and recognized by law,
- listed: this specific status is used only for sites listed (designated) as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Status year:
2009

OSPAR conservation objectives/aims:
Close window
A marine protected area is designated according to a number of OSPAR conservation objectives which it must subsequently meet.
Protect, conserve and restore species, habitats and ecological processes which have been adversely affected by human activities
Prevent degradation of, and damage to, species, habitats and ecological processes, following the precautionary principle
Protect and conserve areas that best represent the range of species, habitats and ecological processes in the maritime area
Site conservation objectives/aims:
Close window
A marine protected area is designated according to a number of official objectives which it must subsequently meet.
The word 'objective' refers here to the aim or status sought.
To maintain, conserve or restore biodiversity, natural heritage, habitats, species or landscapes with legal protection status
Additional conservation objectives/aims:
Close window
Above and beyond the official objectives defined for a designation category and text, a MPA often pursues many other objectives.
These objectives are generally specific to the local issues of the MPA.
