- Aim: protect coastal areas from
over-development and environmental damage
- Identifies in which coastal areas is
being put under pressure

- Pressures on the Mediterranean
- Sea pollution from industrial
waste + untreated sewage
pumped into sea
- Air pollution- industry +
transport
- Increased urbanisation as
popu. increases
- Threat of desertification as more
underground water used
- Water shortages= increase in
demand + climate change
- Over-fishing= European
Environment Agency- 65% of
fish stocks in region outside

- Plan's Aim: clean up Mediterranean by 2020
- Recommednations
- Make 10% of all coastal areas

nature reserves)
- Reduce building
development along coast +
introduce protected 'green
areas' inbetween
- Develop inland tourism ->
relieve pressure on coast
- Treat all waste water before pumped into sea
- Encourage use of water conservation methods
- Encourage energy saving measures
+ development of renewable energy
- Introduce stricter rules on pollution
- Make 10% of all coastal areas
protected environments (e.g.
nature reserves)
