Developing Mediterranean-specific protocols to protect biodiversity

from litter impact at basin and local MPAs scales

https://medsealitter.interreg-med.eu/

ABSTRACT

The project aims at improving protection measures in order to maintain the biodiversity of natural coastal and marine ecosystems, thanks to a better cooperation and networking between Mediterranean Protected Areas in monitoring and managing the marine litter issue. The project will propose a transnational solution at Mediterranean level for monitoring marine litter pressure, thanks to a better cooperation,  results-oriented and based on scientific information. Moreover the project will create a MPAs Mediterreanean network beyond the project for carrying out integrated and shared measures providing effective solutions to the impact of marine litter on biodiversity.
