SIMWESTMED / SUPREME final conference “Planning the Mediterranean Sea” Venice – 12-13 December

Draft Programme available

Participation is free of charge, but the registration is required (link)

The SUPREME and SIMWESTMED final Conference will take place the 12 and 13 December 2018 in Venice, at the Scuola Grande di S.Giovanni Evangelista (12/12/18) and Aula Magna IUAV Tolentini (13/12/18).

The two EU projects, co-founded by DG MARE, focus on two key objectives: to support the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) processes in EU Members States of the Mediterranean Sea and to launch a cross-border cooperation in MSP initiatives.

Available Initial Assessment MSP oriented – Western Mediterranean

Thanks to the collaboration of all the Partners and Member States involved in the SIMWESTMED Project, the Report related to the sub-task C.1.1.1, “Develop a basin-scale analysis/initial assessment strongly MSP orientated”, is completed.

The Report established by CORILA, collects and describes all the relevant information related to the project marine area, Western Mediterranean, about the main aspects that have to be considered in the MSP context. Starting from the national jurisdictions and the state of the implementation of MSP processes at country level, the Report describes the main aspects in terms of physical characteristics of the area and the marine environment by considering the representative habitats and species of the West Med.
