Other type of conservation measures’ means for example:
 ‘No conservation plan, but a national ban on all fishing. Obligations due to Ospar recommendation’ (example from Sweden)
 ‘No single species conservation plans but species is listed in Finnish National Action Plan for species protection. The regional implementation plan
includes a list of species that have been assessed to need immediate protection with the main protection measures (1-5 measures).’ (example from
Finland)
 ‘Ban of fishing during reproduction period existing according to national regulation.’ (example from Lithuania)
 ‘The species is protected through legislation, meaning no hunting or collecting or direct disturbance as well as a protection from collecting of eggs.
Additionally an indirect protection is in place through protection of habitats.’ (example from Denmark)
