This project aims to reduce the vulnerability of selected coastal towns in Lebanon, which are facing crucial sustainability issues, and improve Marine Protected Areas as Ecosystem-based Mitigation and Adaptation. Applying a mix of tools & approaches to enable key conservation functions, sustainable management of ecosystems, adaptation to climate change, and increase capacity to manage natural resources communally are the core issues of biodiversity/marine conservation and policy change.

Project’s milestones:

Milestone 1: Capitalising on effective measures and tools that have previously been tested and proven successful around the Mediterranean

Milestone 2:  Conduct vulnerability assessments and ecosystem mapping to protect and safeguard coastal communities

Milestone 3: Empower stakeholders on marine management planning and change processes for effective and sustainable management of Marine ecosystems and livelihood security
