Mediterranean training session on marine protected areas monitoring techniques

SPA/RAC in collaboration with the University of Alicante, in Santa Pola (Spain) organized a Mediterranean training session on the "Identification and classification techniques of marine and coastal species for the ecological monitoring of marine protected areas". The training session, which took place on 26-30 September 2011, contributed to strengthening the skills of eight MPA managers and practitioners from seven Mediterranean countries (Algeria, Croatia, Lebanon, Libya, Montenegro, Morocco and Tunisia), by providing them with the tools and know-how needed to improve their performance regarding the taxonomy of the marine and coastal species.
