As tools to support the implementation of the CFP, technical measures shall contribute to the objectives of the CFP set out in the applicable provisions of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. 2. Technical measures shall in particular contribute to achieving the following objectives: (a) optimise exploitation patterns to provide protection for juveniles and spawning aggregations of marine biological resources; (b) ensure that incidental catches of sensitive marine species, including those listed under Directives 92/43/EEC and 2009/147/EC, that are a result of fishing, are minimised and where possible eliminated so that they do not represent a threat to the conservation status of these species; (c) ensure, including by using appropriate incentives, that the negative environmental impacts of fishing on marine habitats are minimised; (d) have in place fisheries management measures for the purposes of complying with Directives 92/43/EEC, 2000/60/EC and 2008/56/EC, in particular with a view to achieving good environmental status in line with Article 9(1) of Directive 2008/56/EC, and with Directive 2009/147/EC.
