Coastal and marine policy moves forward through regional commitments​ and through the institutions who turn these commitments into national action.

Collaboration through our network of National Focal Points (NFPs) is vital for translating shared Mediterranean priorities into country-level implementation of the ICZM Protocol.

Each NFP is the main point of connection between their country – as a Contracting Party to the Barcelona Convention – and PAP/RAC, contributing to and supporting technical, expert and administrative activities that support ICZM implementation on the ground.
