Proceedings of the MPA Forum 2012 in the Mediterranean was published
15.10.2013
Between 25 and 28 November 2012, over 300 key stakeholders from 21 countries bordering the Mediterranean and beyond (33 nationalities represented) and from different sectors all implicated in the marine environment came together and shared their experiences over 4 days in Antalya. These participants comprised marine protected area managers, representatives from national agencies for the environment, fisheries, tourism and the economy, scientists, regional and international partners, local economic stakeholders, NGos, donors.
The roadmap (Antalya Declaration) was finalised, after a long deliberation process which started before the Forum, based on the conclusions and recommendations made by this panel of stakeholders.
All those who were involved in this deliberation process can be proud of this roadmap’s great achievement, even if everyone agrees that the hardest part is yet to come: Antalya’s roadmap paves the way for actions to be undertaken and synergies to be built in order to address the issues of marine protected areas in the Mediterranean.
The booklet give an account of the main results of the discussions held during the Forum.
