SPAMI (Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance)

SPAMI, or Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance, are designated regions in the Mediterranean Sea established under international agreements to conserve unique and valuable marine and coastal ecosystems. These areas are recognized for their biological diversity, rare species, and ecological significance. The goal of SPAMIs is to promote sustainable management, prevent environmental degradation, and protect wildlife and habitats from threats like pollution, overfishing, and illegal activities. By safeguarding these areas, countries aim to maintain the health of the Mediterranean ecosystem and ensure its natural resources endure for future generations.
