Coastal legal frameworks workshop identifies recommendations for Mediterranean countries

On May 25, 2023, a regional workshop on coastal legislation was organized in Split within the framework of child project 2.1. of the GEF MedProgramme. During this workshop, 5 experts from Algeria, France, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia shared their good practices in terms of legal frameworks relating to the coast. Following these presentations, the representatives of the countries eligible for the GEF were able to ask questions to understand the details of the legal texts as well as the methods of application. These exchanges of good practices are inspiring for all Mediterranean countries, and are an opportunity to reflect on new legislative proposals for the implementation of the ICZM Protocol or the preparation for its ratification. At the end of this workshop, more than 30 priority recommendations were identified and will be presented to all contracting parties in a consolidated document in the coming months.
