The Steering Committee of the International umbrella organization of Marine Environment Protection Associations (INTERMEPA), convened to share knowledge and best environmental practices in the Mediterranean Sea, North America and Black Sea.
The goal of INTERMEPA is to maximize sustainable impact by leveraging joint resources in order to respond to the severe global environmental challenges.
Furthermore, INTERMEPA also aims to expand the “MEPA Movement” to other regions.
There is a global urgency to protect our planet. The opportunity for INTERMEPA to collectively contribute to that effort is immense and will be activated
stated newly appointed INTERMEPA Chairman Mr Joe Hughes.
Moreover, the meeting also focused on marine litter, eutrophication and the recent ‘sea snot’ phenomenon in the Marmara Sea, biodiversity, environmental awareness, safety at sea, and sustainability training (ESGs – SDGs).
Finally, focus groups, innovation projects and international hands-on synergies with sustainable impact will form the basis for further effort and actions towards achieving marine protection.
