Development of a Mediterranean Marine and Coastal Protected Areas Network

This  activity  aims  mainly  at  assisting  Mediterranean  riparian countries in the setting up of an ecologically coherent network of marine  protected  areas  (MPAs)  in  the  region.  It  has  been addressed through the identification and characterisation of marine sites  suitable  to  become  MPAs,  and  also  through  demonstration projects  for  MPA  creation  and  planning,  including  stakeholders’ participation and financial sustainability mechanisms.
