Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection tools catalogue in Arabic
In the framework of the Project PANACeA, the MED Biodiversity Protection Community built the present Catalogue of tools for biodiversity protection in Mediterranean MPAs, covering different needs and requirements for ecosystem-based management. This Catalogue is an update and extension of a previous report developed in the context of PANACeA, which included a preliminary version of some of the tools for ecosystem-based management in the Mediterranean, being developed by the Biodiversity Protection Community projects during the year 2018.
The tools included in this version of the Catalogue updated in 2022 are classified into several types: monitoring tools; management tools; geospatial tools; financial tools and other tools.
The tools catalogue is available in Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
COMPTE-RENDU DE L'ÉVÉNEMENT NATIONAL DE CAPITALISATION À SFAX
L'objectif de l'évènement national de capitalisation est de présenter les résultats préliminaires du projet ENSERES et de discuter de leur application aux défis auxquels la Tunisie est confrontée en termes de protection et de gestion de la biodiversité côtière et de durabilité.
Medidas para la conservación eficaz de la costa española
This report summarises the findings of the national capitalisation event in Spain which focussed on management effectiveness on the Spanish coast.
Effective conservation of coastal habitats across the Mediterranean
A previous study within the ENSERES project showed that whereas PAs proved to be an effective tool to reduce land development along Mediterranean coastal areas, the ICZM Protocol had had no effect in doing so. This study aims to delve into those results by ascertaining the views of a range of relevant national and regional stakeholders on the
conservation status of Mediterranean coastal areas and the factors that most and least contribute to it.
Strategy and Action Plan for Sustainable Tourism in Tyre Coast Nature Reserve and SPAMI, Lebanon
This report presents the findings of an assessment of the current tourism practices within the Tyre Coast Nature Reserve (Lebanon) and proposes sustainable tourism strategies to minimize negative environmental and socio-cultural impacts. The assessment included a review of existing literature, stakeholder consultations, and site visits
Strategy and Action Plan for Sustainable Fisheries Management within and around Kneiss Islands Nature Reserve and SPAMI, Tunisia
The study, entitled "Development of a strategy and action plan for the sustainable management of fisheries in and around the Kneiss Islands nature reserve and SPAMI area in Tunisia", is part of the ENSERES (ENhancing Socio-Ecological RESilience in Mediterranean coastal areas) project.
This study involves the main players in the fisheries sector, namely the administration, fishermen's unions, civil society and self-employed fishermen. By adopting a participatory approach to drawing up the strategy, the aim is to involve all the stakeholders in the decision-making process, thereby ensuring the continuity of actions beyond the end of the project.
Synthesis of the results and lessons learnt of the ENSERES transfer activities
This report aims to document best practices and lessons learned from the implemented activities in the pilot territories, providing recommendations for further implementation and replication in other territories.
The transferring and up-scaling activities covered by the present report include compiling transferable tools into a multilingual toolkit, conducting training sessions on selected tools, implementing mentoring programmes in the pilot sites using appropriate tools, executing pilot actions by providing subgrants to civil society organizations and social and solidarity economy organizations, and improving marine protected areas management through the implementation of the twinning programme among the Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance.

Guide pour la surveillance des dechets marins et l'amelioration de la gestion des dechets dans le port de peche de Sfax (Tunisie)
This deliverable summarizes the results of a support process (mentoring) on prevention of marine in the port of Sfax. It includes a monitoring plan adapted to the fishing port of Sfax and its specific features, and a plan for the sustainable management of waste from land-based activities and marine sources.
The report will make it possible to
- Establish a regular monitoring plan previously tested with all the players involved in order to identify the problems of marine waste in the port of Sfax (typology, quantity, etc.).
- Identify the most appropriate measures for the prevention and mitigation of marine pollution and develop the process for its implementation.
- Strengthen the capacities of stakeholders and decision-makers in Sfax with regard to monitoring and measures to improve waste prevention and management of waste in the port of Sfax.
TECHLOG Collaborative Web-Platform
The TECHLOG collaborative platform is the technological tool that supports the activities of the two Living Labs promoted by TECHLOG and will represent the collaborative environment in which the beneficiaries of TECHLOG can cooperate to co-create, test and share new innovation initiatives and training programs based on advanced driving simulation technologies for port and transport staff. The platform is conceived to support the cooperation and exchange of information and good practices among the different innovation players operating in the port and road transport sectors of the Mediterranean area.
The TECHLOG platform provides a wealth of services and functionalities aimed at facilitating knowledge sharing and joint technological initiatives between the innovation players and users coming from both academia and transport/port industry and operating in the field of innovation and advanced simulation for transport and ports.
TECHLOG O.5.7 - Joint proposal for a new shared qualification standard
The need to define standards for advanced training and licensing and qualification certification in the (trans)port and logistics field was among the main objectives of the project.
In the context of the TECHLOG project, stakeholders from port and transport companies and institutions from all partner countries were invited to take part in a capacity-building path, through which they were to exchange views and knowledge to build, supportedby the project partners and two external experts, a joint proposal for a common qualification standard for port and transport workers.
To this end, two preparatory online meetings, one in-person workshop, and one final recapitulatory online session were held.
The target audience for participation in the consultancy included:
1. Public officials with an administrative background and expertise in standardization and safety, such as:
a) State control officials in the shipping sector.
b) Harbormasters, often tasked with overseeing port operations in various countries.
2. Personnel involved in port operations, including:
c) Labor inspectorate officials responsible for health and safety regulations.
d) Port Authority representatives.
3. Professionals in logistics and transportation, such as:
e) Road safety officials.
f) Health and safety experts.
The resulting joint qualification standard is contained in Deliverable O.5.7, and was presented at the TECHLOG Final Conference, which took place in Cagliari on December 1st, 2023.
TECHLOG - O.5.6 Video tutorials
The project developed and released 3 videos showing the opportunities and benefits related to the use of advanced simulators and related training programs in port and transport activities.
The video tutorials developed in the framework of the project offer several positive aspects for workers and businesses, contributing to effective learning, skill development, and overall productivity. Tutorials are made available:
- on the project collaborative platform https://techlogproject.com.
- on the official TECHLOG youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@techlogproject7406
- in the official TECHLOG website (Library/videos area)
They were also shared in the TECHLOG social channels: https://linktr.ee/techlog_project
The 3 tutorials focus on:
- simulation opportunities for truck drivers;
- simulation opportunities for quay crane operators;
- training for innovation trainers.
