The list aims to promote cooperation in the management and conservation of natural areas and protection of threatened species and their habitats. The conservation of the natural heritage is then the basic aim that must characterize the SPAMIs. In detail the list may include the following sites: (1) are of importance for conserving the components of biological diversity in the Mediterranean; (2) contain ecosystems specific to the Mediterranean area or the habitats of endangered species; (3) are of special interest at the scientific, aesthetic, cultural or educational level.

Areas that are regularly used for feeding (including hunting), breeding (all aspects of courtship) and raising calves, as well as, sometimes, migrating, are part of critical habitat, especially if these areas are regularly used. 'Critical habitats' are areas such as spawning grounds, nursery grounds, or other areas harboring vulnerable life stages (Commission on Geosciences, Environment, and Resources, 2000). Critical habitat is identified under the US Endangered Species Act of 1973 but, to date, has mainly been applied to land-based endangered species. For more information on the areas go to cetaceanhabitat.org.

Scientific criteria for identifying EBSAs where defined in the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 9): (1) Uniqueness or Rarity, (2) Special importance for life history stages of species, (3) Importance for threatened, endangered or declining species and/or habitats (4) Vulnerability, Fragility, Sensitivity, or Slow recovery, (5) Biological Productivity, (6) Biological Diversity (7) Naturalness.

Since 2006, four FRAs, falling both in high seas and national waters have been established to ensure the protection of deep sea sensitive habitats in well-delimited sites. In addition, yet in 2005 the GFCM endorsed the decision of prohibiting bottom-trawling activities in waters deeper than 1000 m in order to protect the deep-sea benthic environments of the Mediterannean and Black Sea.
