"Planning for sustainable fisheries in MPAs": Second regional training workshop by RAC/SPA and WWF

This workshop is co-organized by WWF Mediterranean and the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (UNEP/MAP-RAC/SPA), in the framework of the Capacity Building Programmes of the MedPAN South and the MedMPAnet projects. It is delivered by NOAA's trainers.

This is an 8-day program, which will be held from October 4-11, 2010 in Kas, Turkey. This area was chosen as a living case study for the training due to its proximity to Kas-Kekova Specially Protected Areas (SPA) and local fishing communities. The Aquapark Hotel in Kas will serve as the training facility.

This is an intensive program for MPA managers and staff, fishermen and government officials from the all the countries participating in the project (Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Montenegro, Morocco, Palestinian Territories, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey).

All training activities will be structured with the goal of moving all participants toward better coordination and collaboration and fostering a network–wide approach in the framework of MedPAN.
