Launching of the 2020 Forum of MPAs in the Mediterranean
Monaco 29 November 2021. For the third time in the Mediterranean, around 250 key players involved in the marine environment will meet from 28 November to 1st December 2021 in Monaco, to share their experiences, discuss and develop a joint work programme to improve, by 2030, the protection of the Mediterranean Sea. ACCOBAMS will take part to this important event.
Coming from all over the Mediterranean and beyond, representatives of national agencies, Marine Protected Area (MPA) managers , scientists, civil society organisations, local economic actors and international institutions will exchange to find solutions to the challenges faced by MPAs to effectively preserve marine ecosystems and the services they provide. The objective of this hybrid Monaco MPA Forum event is to finalise the content of the Post-2020 Roadmap for Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas. This operational document aims to be a living and regularly evaluated blueprint that generates the buy-in of all stakeholders needed to be involved in the implementation of its recommendations. The finalisation of the Roadmap will be the start of a wide mobilisation to ensure that 30% of the Mediterranean is effectively protected by 2030.
