The present report aims to shed light on the main activities carried out under the Strategic Partnership for the Mediterranean Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (MedPartnership) and the Integration of Climatic Variability and Change into National Strategies to Implement the ICZM Protocol in the Mediterranean (ClimVar & ICZM) projects.
A complete assessment of human impacts on groundwater quality determined that the BouAreg aquifer is characterized by a high natural salinity, increased by the effects of agricultural activities through irrigation return flows.
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.
The Mediterranean Integrated Climate Information Platform (MedICIP), is a joint Mediterranean country effort to share geographical data and existing reports dealing with ICZM and Climate Change in participating countries.
WWF's intervention responded to the need to protect marine and coastal biodiversity of the Mediterranean by enhancing the management effectiveness of existing MPAs in the project countries.
The Integrative Management Framework (IMF) is a comprehensive and operational methodology for the integrated and sustainable management of the Mediterranean ecosystems constituted by the coastal zones, river basins and coastal aquifers.
The preparation of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM)Strategy for Montenegro was undertaken in parallel with the preparation of the Coastal Area Spatial Plan, the most important planning document for coastal areas in Montenegro
In most Mediterranean countries, governance bottlenecks and financing gaps undermine the quality and sustainability of water supply and sanitation with direct negative impacts on the environment.
The Coastal Plan, is based on several assessments and was prepared for coastal zone of the Šibenik-Knin County by a multi-disciplinary team of experts. The Plan and those assessments were guided by local knowledge, expressed at “Climagine” workshops that paralleled Plan preparation.
This assessment seeks to strengthen the understanding of impacts of climate variability and change (CVC) on coastal zones in the Mediterranean region.
