For the 10th consecutive year, the Mediterranean celebrated the Coast Day, on 27 September this year in Barcelona under the theme “A blue economy for a healthy Mediterranean”.
SCP/RAC participates in a collaboration mechanism to facilitate the implementation of the the Regional Plan on Marine Litter in the Mediterranean. The platform was established the past 6th of September 2016, at the office of the coordinating unit of the Barcelona Convention in Athens.
Le Programme des Nations Unies pour l'environnement / Plan d'Action pour la Méditerranée - Secrétariat de la Convention de Barcelone et ses Protocoles (PNUE / PAM) et le ministère italien de l'environnement, ont signé le 14 Septembre à Rome, un accord de coopération bilatérale pour la protection de la mer, en présence de S.E Mme Silvia Velo, Sous-Secrétaire d'Etat du Ministère de l'environnement d’Italie.
The Coast Day is an annual Mediterranean event aiming to increase environmental awareness among policy makers, academia, media, NGOs and the locals of the importance of good coast management for achieving sustainable development in the Mediterranean region. We also invite organizations active in the Blue Economy field to take part in the exhibition.
