Besides establishing linkages between the WFD, the Floods Directive and nature conservation policy, measures with multiple benefits can also contribute to linking up to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (EU 2008) is required. This is mainly due to the planning and implementation of measures as part of the RBMPs to improve water quality in coastal areas and for the benefit of the marine environment. Within the 2^nd RBMPs, some 70 % of all RBDs reported a link between the WFD and the MSFD; they also indicate a high number of measures listed under the WFD as relevant to also reach the objectives of the MSFD, in particular measures to reduce nutrient pollution from both diffuse and point sources as well as reduction of hazardous substances (EC 2019d).
