RESET GUIDEBOOK OF PROJECT OUTPUTS
RESET focused on identifying, gathering, analysing and synthesising knowledge regarding how to best support
sustainable and green entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Throughout the process, RESET adopted a Capitalisation Framework aiming to define the methodology needed to
achieve the above-mentioned objective.
The Capitalisation Framework included the following questions:
1. Where is the knowledge?
2. What is the knowledge?
3. What knowledge is needed?
4. How to use the knowledge?
This Guidebook demonstrates how RESET responded to these questions through the various activities conducted
throughout the project
Successful Completion of MED4EBM Project Activities - Final presentations
We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the MED4EBM project activities, executed collaboratively by partners from Tunisia (INSTM), Jordan (UNDP-Amman and JREDS), and Italy (PROGES and Adt), on September 21, 2023. This milestone marks a significant achievement in the implementation of ecosystem-based management in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. The Royal Marine Conservation Society of Jordan (JREDS), Amici della Terra - Toscana, and the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP extend their heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, collaborators, and participants whose unwavering commitment made this success possible.
Glass-bottom Boats Tourism Data Collection in Aqaba - final report
The MED4EBM Project introduces an innovative approach to Integrated Coastal Zone Management across four target areas: Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Italy. In Jordan, the project identified fisheries and sustainable coastal tourism as priority management issues. This research deliverable focuses on the glass-bottom boat tourism sector in Aqaba, Jordan—a significant contributor to the region's tourism industry and livelihoods of around 200 families. Aqaba Touristic Boats Society, established in June 1994, actively engaged in field data collection for the first time, appointing a specialist and three assistants to gather insights on this traditional and culturally valuable craft. The dataset includes key metrics such as gasoline usage, travel distance, revenue, and visitor demographics, offering valuable insights into the operational aspects and popularity of glass-bottom boat tours in Aqaba. This analysis serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the dynamics of this eco-friendly tourism activity, its economic impact, and the need for sustainable management practices to preserve Aqaba's rich marine heritage and support its vibrant tourism sector.
Fisheries Management Data Analysis Deliverable
The fourth consultancy deliverable of the MED4EBM project presents a comprehensive analysis of fish catch data and associated fishing operations in the coastal zone of Aqaba, Jordan. Conducted between 28th August and 28th September 2023, this analysis focuses on key metrics such as fish counts (Kg), number of fishing trips, total catch (Kg), petrol consumption (JD), and fishing value (JD) across various locations including ACT, OPS, OPLB, HB, and OPM. The data reveals dynamic patterns in fishing efforts and returns, with notable fluctuations during specific periods and distinct trends across different fishing sites. Swordfish emerges as the dominant species, while other species display varying success rates. "ACT" consistently excels in fish count (Kg) and fishing trips, with "OPM" showing higher trends, indicating their potential attractiveness to fishermen. This analysis underscores the importance of careful fisheries management in the Jordanian coastal area, encompassing approximately 27KM with restricted fishing zones. It sets the groundwork for long-term, reliable data gathering, involving the fishing community directly to sustain their livelihoods and preserve the cultural heritage of traditional fishing practices while ensuring the viability of fisheries and regenerative fishing stocks in the region.
MED4EBM Data Gathering Campaign - Aqaba Diving Associations
This deliverable encompasses a comprehensive study conducted in collaboration with ten partner diving clubs, focusing on diving-related activities and reef check surveys across selected diving sites. The study aims to quantify visitation frequency, map diving loads, and provide daily environmental conditions at the sites. Additionally, it includes detailed Reef Check monitoring and descriptions of diving site attractions, facilities, and environmental stressors. The study's results are presented in this report, with detailed data provided in separate excel files for further analysis.
MED4EBM Training on Fisheries Ecosystem Based Management Tunisia
The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Training conducted in the Kneiss Islands region aimed to equip participants with methodologies and management tools essential for sustainable exploitation of target species and the overall ecosystem. Given that fishing is the primary economic activity in this region, the training emphasized the importance of implementing sustainable practices. Participants were introduced to different definitions of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) and gained insights into the significance of the human dimension and information systems in effective fisheries management. This training serves as a crucial step towards enhancing sustainable fishing practices and ecosystem conservation in the Kneiss Islands region, aligning with the project's objectives to promote responsible fisheries management.
Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Workshop in Tyre, Lebanon
The Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Workshop held in Tyre, Lebanon, aimed to foster synergy among various projects, stakeholders, and management entities involved in coastal and marine ecosystem resource management. The workshop focused on identifying priorities and potential collaborations for the coordinated delivery of training and capacity-building initiatives. Through stakeholder consultations, the workshop derived objectives, monitoring indicators, and training needs to establish a community-driven, long-term environmental monitoring program for coastal habitats. The initiative's overarching goal is to enhance sustainability by integrating coastal environmental monitoring into the interests of local communities and competent management entities. This workshop serves as a pivotal step towards regularizing coastal environmental monitoring as a common practice, ensuring its continuation and effectiveness in preserving Lebanon's coastal ecosystems.
