Coastal zone funding

The three year project is aimed at bridging the legal-institutional gap in the implementation of existing policies on integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) in the Mediterranean region.

Mare Nostrum, which is led by the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, will be funded as part of the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument – Cross-Border Cooperation in the Mediterranean programme.

The project’s primary goal is to contribute to bridging the gap between the ideals of coastal zone management and its actual effects on the ground at the local, national and cross-border levels.

Through knowledge exchange, the project will also lead to improved dialogue and cooperation across national borders and the development and dissemination of new tools for realistic implementation of ICZM among Mediterranean Basin countries and beyond.
