COAST DAY HISTORY<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mediterranean Coast Day<\/strong> is an initiative to promote the Integrated Coastal Zone Management<\/strong> (ICZM) as the optimal policy framework for achieving sustainable development of coastal areas, and the PAP\/RAC<\/strong>, the Coastal Management Centre of UNEP\/MAP<\/strong>, is the promoter of this action in the Mediterranean Region.<\/p>\n

This initiative aims to increase environmental awareness among policy makers, academics<\/span>, media<\/span>, NGOs and local populations, but also to promote and implement activities that, at the same time, consider fragile, ecological, social and cultural contexts and lead to sustainable coastal development<\/p>\n

Split, Croatia, 27 September 2021<\/strong> \u2013 Lefteris Arapakis<\/strong>, a national of Greece, has received the honorary title of Ambassador for the Mediterranean Coast<\/strong> conferred by the Priority Action Programme<\/strong> \u2013 Regional Activity Centre<\/strong> (PAP\/RAC), a Regional Activity Centre of the UN Environment Programme\u2019s Mediterranean Action Plan.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made on 27 September 2021 by Zeljka Skaricic<\/strong>, the Director of PAP\/RAC, during an online event organised by the Croatia-based Centre as part of the celebration of the 2021 edition of Mediterranean Coast Day<\/strong> (25 September).<\/p>\n

The title of Ambassador for the Mediterranean Coast<\/strong> is conferred to individuals who inspire, through their work and engagement, the people from the Mediterranean and beyond, to better understand, protect and respect the coasts and their environment<\/p>\n

In recent years,\u00a0PAP\/RAC\u00a0has bestowed the title to an array of personalities ranging from actors and Mediterranean country officials to writers and sailors. \u201cThe decision to award the title to Lefteris Arapakis is an acknowledgement of his remarkable contribution to a cleaner Mediterranean<\/em>,\u201d said Ms. \u0160kari\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n

Mr. Arapakis, who was announced as UNEP Young Champion of the Earth for Europe in 2020<\/strong>, hails from a family of fishers. He has witnessed from an early age boats around his hometown of Piraeus (a sea-side suburb of Athens, Greece) hauling in nets filled with litter instead of fish. The plastic rubbish was then thrown back in the sea instead of being disposed of properly. He decided to act.<\/p>\n

In 2016 Lefteris Arapakis co-founded Enaleia<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, the first professional fishing school in Greece. His objectives were to instil environmentally friendly practices in the profession, and to motivate the fishers to collect discarded plastic they encounter in the Mediterranean. Thanks to this endeavour, the fishers affiliated to his social enterprise remove about 20 tonnes of plastic from the sea every month. A partnership with an organization based in the Netherlands allows for the recycling of discarded fishing nets (the most common by-catch) into carpets, socks, masks and other consumer products.<\/p>\n

As Mrs \u0160kari\u010di\u0107 emphasized: \u201cThe Mediterranean is one of the most marine-litter-affected regional seas. Discarded single-use plastics are notoriously ubiquitous. Marine litter has adverse and far-reaching environmental and socio-economic impacts, including on human health. The problem is rooted in unsustainable consumption and production patterns. Through the Regional Plan on Marine Litter devised in the context of the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean (Barcelona Convention), we are promoting the use of available tools and approaches for the removal of marine litter from the seafloor – we call it Fishing for Litter (FfL), and it includes the retrieval of abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear. \u201cFishing for Litter\u201d offers many benefits of the environmental, social, economic and scientific kind. The inspiring work that Lefteris Arapakis is doing with Enaleia is important and relevant, as it successfully demonstrates that individual and local initiatives driven by passion and shared priorities are crucial in complementing action taken at the regional level.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are convinced that Mr. Arapakis\u2019s enthusiasm and the sense of initiative will make Lefteris an excellent Ambassador for the Mediterranean coast,\u201d Ms. \u0160kari\u010di\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n

Notes for editors
<\/strong>Mediterranean Coast Day (25 September)<\/a> <\/span>is a UNEP\/MAP regional annual observance introduced under the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Protocol of the Barcelona Convention<\/a><\/span>. PAP\/RAC<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is the promoter of this important observance for the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

The slogan of Mediterranean Coast Day (introduced in 2020) is The Mediterranean needs you. If you put a seashell to your ear, you will hear it calling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The date of 25 September was selected to commemorate the first ratification of the ICZM Protocol<\/a><\/span> by Slovenia. Now more than ever, commitment to compliance and enforcement of the instruments adopted under the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols is critical to the region\u2019s efforts to recover better in the post-COVID era<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

From its initial focus on ICZM, Mediterranean Coat Day has evolved to embrace a broader range of themes pertaining to the health of coastal and marine ecosystems in the context of sustainable development.<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean is the most densely populated closed sea in the world. The total population of the Mediterranean countries grew from 276 million in 1970 to 512 million in 2018. It is predicted to grow by an additional 182 million inhabitants by 2050.
In 2019, the percentage of built-up areas has reached an astounding rate<\/p>\n

The coastal zone<\/strong> is becoming increasingly populated and built up and concentrates most of the major cities, many transport routes (roads, ports, airports), as well as industrial and energy infrastructure. This concentration is intensifying year after year and generates more pollution and disturbance leading to environmental degradation and increased risks for coastal populations and infrastructure. Besides these pressures in coastal areas, natural hazards such as storms and flooding add to the overall challenge. As their frequency, occurrence and intensity increase, they pose a real threat and weaken the resilience of ecosystems, human populations and coastal infrastructure. In this context of increasing environmental changes, including climate change threats, a strong landscape and ecosystem protection policies are needed.<\/p>\n

PAP\/RAC<\/strong> has proposed some new indicators aiming to reveal the sustainability of the spatial development<\/strong> along the Mediterranean coast. Some of these indicators have been proposed to Mediterranean countries for monitoring of the good environmental status of the Mediterranean Sea, while some are proposed to regional and national government in the framework of the Coastal Plans. These indicators also measure the level of fragmentation of the coastal ecosystems and therefore, coastal ecosystems health. Several indicators have been proposed for monitoring to the Mediterranean countries on coastal ecosystems and landscapes that reveal the sustainability of the spatial development along the Mediterranean coast<\/p>\n

Organized by PAP\/RAC<\/strong>, <\/span>this reflection will be held on this special occasion on the 27 September 2021<\/strong> from 09 to 11 am. It will deal about two crucial and connected issues: coastal urbanisation and tourism in the prism of the post Covid era.<\/p>\n

The objectives of the webinar are to present the latest development related to burning issues in the Mediterranean: coastal urbanisation and tourism in the context of changing climate; and to present pathways to promote sustainable tourism in the Mediterranean and to address multiple challenges in a (post-) covid era.<\/p>\n
