| 175. | As can be seen, the definition of ‘marine waters’ in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive overlaps with the definition of ‘coastal waters’ in the Water Framework Directive, and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive applies to these in so far as particular aspects of the environmental status of the marine waters are not already addressed through the Water Framework Directive or other Union (164) legislation. Furthermore, there is an overlap with the coverage of ‘territorial waters’ as referred to in the Water Framework Directive. The latter instrument applies within territorial waters whenever the damage concerns chemical status.
