In the framework of the EU financial scheme for the IPA Adriatic (Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance) programme, a meeting was organised by the Emilia Romagna Region to discuss the project proposal entitled "Shaping a Holistic Approach to Protect the Adriatic Environment (SHAPE)". All Adriatic countries and Italian regions of the Adriatic have been invited to participate and take an active role in the project activities.
At the meeting project work packages were discussed and specific tasks defined. The responisbility of PAP/RAC will be to lead the WP3 on ICZM where the focus is put on the preparatory activities for the implementation of the ICZM Protocol. Within dissemination activities, the Coast Day 2010 and 2012 events are also proposed to be organised in the frame of this project. The project proposal will be submitted by the Lead Partner by the end of this year.
