Mediterranean Action Plan

The Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) is an effort launched in 1975 to protect and preserve the environment of the Mediterranean Sea. It involves countries around the Mediterranean working together to reduce pollution, protect marine ecosystems, and promote sustainable use of resources. MAP includes policies, research, and projects aimed at maintaining the health of the sea, which is vital for the region’s economy, biodiversity, and communities. It serves as a framework for regional cooperation to address environmental challenges and ensure a cleaner, safer Mediterranean environment for current and future generations.
