SCP/RAC seeks consultants to support the implementation of a measure with beach bars to prevent marine litter in Karaburun-Sazan National Marine Park (Albania)

26th July 2019

Marine litter in the Mediterranean is a critical issue. Marine litter is strongly related to unbalanced waste management policies and practices, increased industrial (especially plastic) production, and unsustainable consumption patterns. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), which by definition should be unpolluted, are however under special threat by this pressure.

Further initiatives are needed at a local level to empower local authorities, protected area managers and local communities to monitor and manage marine litter, prioritizing upstream solutions following the waste management hierarchy (i.e. prevent, reduce, reuse, recycle, discharge, clean-up and removal).

The objective of this consultancy is to support the implementation of a Marine Litter prevention measure with beach bars situated within the Marine Protected Area of Karaburun-Sazan National Marine Park (Albania). 

This activity is organised in the framework of the Cooperation Agreement between UN Environment/Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) and the Italian Ministry for Environment Land and Sea Protection, signed in September 2016, providing for a framework of cooperation in support of the UN Environment/MAP mandate implementation, focusing on 4 main Components, one of which is the enhancement of marine litter management.

The Terms of Reference are available here.

Interested applicants are invited to submit their bid by 19th August midnight (CET) following the instruction laid down in the ToRs.
