REMPEC maintains this website in order to facilitate access to the Geographical Information System (GIS) relevant for the implementation of the Protocol concerning Cooperation in Preventing Pollution from Ships and, in Cases of Emergency, combating Pollution of the Mediterranean Sea (Prevention and Emergency Protocol, 2002). REMPEC will endeavour to keep this information system updated and accurate through a participatory process. This GIS was developed within the framework of the EU-funded Mediterranean Decision Support System for Marine Safety (MEDESS-4MS) MED 2S-MED11-01, and its activities. This project, approved within the framework of the project strategy of the European MED Programme, is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund – ERDF.
This material is based upon private data provided by the Contracting Parties to the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean Sea (Barcelona Convention) whose access requires authentication with credentials, as well as public data gathered by REMPEC from various sources such as UNEP/MAP Components, namely the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA) and Plan Bleu, together with ENI, ITOPF, Cedre and MOIG. A variety of other sources was used as well and may vary over time. The GIS and associated data are provided in good faith as a guide only and are based on information obtained.
