Barcelona Convention: Protocols Enter into Force

The Offshore Protocol and the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Protocol entered into force on 24 March 2011.

The Offshore Protocol aims to establish an effective management system to protect the Mediterranean Sea from pollution resulting from exploration and exploitation of the continental shelf, the seabed and its subsoil, and to organize mutual assistance in cases of emergency.

The ICZM Protocol seeks to serve as a tool for sustainable coastal development, by providing an effective way to ensure that human actions are undertaken with a concern for balancing economic, social, and environmental goals and priorities in a long-term perspective.
