Marine Protected Areas and Artisanal Fishing
Integrated management through environmental awareness and education.

The project “AMPPA – Marine Protected Areas and Artisanal Fishing integrated Management through Environmental Awareness and Education” aims to contribute to the protection and conservation of marine and terrestrial biodiversity in the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) of Sicily and Malta. This is achieved through the creation of systems and services for the protection and restoration of transboundary biodiversity.
The project is funded under the INTERREG V-A Italy-Malta Program, with priority axis: III (environmental protection and promotion of efficient resource use); specific objective: 3.1 (contribute to halting the loss of terrestrial and marine biodiversity by maintaining and restoring ecosystems and protected areas).
