Technical report : mapping of Mediterranean observatories and monitoring programmes for the environment and for marine and coastal activities.

This technical report, written by LITTOCEAN under the coordination of the Plan Bleu, presents, by country, a mapping of Mediterranean observatories and monitoring programmes for the environment and for marine and coastal activities. It aims to identify the main stakeholders and national observation capacities of the environment as well as of marine and coastal activities (institutional structures and the legal system), and to synthesize the assessments of the state of the environmental monitoring activity in this domain. It is the first part of an expertise planned in two phases. A second report complements this technical report, by synthesizing various aspects of the assessment of monitoring activities in coastal and marine environments.
