Sharing solutions and learning from each other is how ENSERES and their partners improve collaboration across the Region. ENSERES partner SPA RAC connects Mediterranean coasts and improves marine protected areas' management through the Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance - SPAMI Twinning Programme, in which Tyre in Lebanon and the Kneiss Islands in Tunisia took part as ENSERES pilot sites.

In addition, the SPAMI Day, a regional celebration of Mediterranean marine conservation and protected areas, was set up by the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention at their COP 22 (Antalya, Türkiye, 7-10 December 2021), and is officially celebrated on 15 April of each year. This coming April 15, 2023 will be a day of celebration for every person and every entity that has at heart the protection of marine life in the Mediterranean.
