A monitoring programme for coralligenous assemblages was carried out in Italy for implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), aiming to characterise the coralligenous' environmental status and litter distribution. A standardised monitoring protocol, based on ROV-imaging, has been applied; this paper analyses the data obtained during the first MSFD cycle (2015-2019). Ninety-five areas were monitored at depths ranging between 14 and 199 m in the three subregions bordering Italy. Overall, 4316 macrolitter items were recorded. The median litter density was 2 items 100 m (range: 0-120 items 100 m), but significant subregional differences emerged in litter quantities and composition. Fishery-related litter (mainly lines and ropes) was the most common type (86 %), affecting vulnerable coralligenous reefs. A first baseline is proposed for assessing achievement toward Good Environmental Status and evaluation of the efficacy of the Italian MSFD measures aiming to eliminate the negative effects of marine litter on vulnerable reefs.
为实施《海洋战略框架指令》（MSFD），意大利开展了一项针对珊瑚礁群落的监测计划，旨在描述珊瑚礁的环境状况和垃圾分布情况。已应用基于遥控潜水器成像的标准化监测方案；本文分析了在第一个MSFD周期（2015 - 2019年）期间获得的数据。在与意大利接壤的三个次区域，对95个深度在14至199米之间的区域进行了监测。总体而言，记录了4316件大型垃圾。垃圾密度中位数为每100米2件（范围：每100米0 - 120件），但在垃圾数量和组成方面出现了显著的次区域差异。与渔业相关的垃圾（主要是鱼线和绳索）是最常见的类型（86%），影响着脆弱的珊瑚礁。提出了第一个基线，用于评估实现良好环境状况的进展以及评估意大利MSFD措施旨在消除海洋垃圾对脆弱珊瑚礁负面影响的成效。
