Action to be taken: Paragraph 13 Related documents: REMPEC/WG.45/8, REMPEC/WG.51/9 and REMPEC/WG.45/16 Background 1. At the 15th Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention - COP15, held in Almeria, Spain in January 2008, the Parties agreed to progressively apply the ecosystem approach (EcAp) to the management of human activities which may affect the Mediterranean marine and coastal environment for the promotion of sustainable development. With the adoption of the EcAp Strategy, and its Roadmap for implementation, Contracting Parties committed to implementing EcAp in the Mediterranean with the ultimate objective of achieving the Good Environmental Status (GES) of the Mediterranean Sea and its coastal zone by 2020. The GES was defined through eleven Ecological Objectives (EO) and the corresponding twenty-eight operational objectives. Operational objectives’ achievement is being monitored with the help of 61 indicators (27 common and 34 candidate indicators) for the Mediterranean, providing the framework for the development of an Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (IMAP), as a way of evaluating the status and achievement of GES through regular assessments of the Mediterranean Sea and coastal environment.
