SAILING CATAMARAN In Italy Gulf of Naples The Gulf of Naples is located in the Campania Region of southwestern Italy. It is fronted by the city of Naples, Mount Vesuvius and the Roman ruins of Pompei and Herculaneum (both completely destroyed by an eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.). To the south, the gulf is lined by the beautiful Sorrentine Peninsula and the cliff-top town of Sorrento. To the west, are the breathtaking islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida. With OMBRE BLU, you will have the opportunity to swim in warm thermal waters and caves, explore quaint villages, shop in trendy boutiques and enjoy some of the finest gastronomy in Italy, or just relax and enjoy the sun. SAILING CATAMARAN In Italy Sorrento Our base in Sorrento is the perfect place to start and finish this magnificent itinerary. A steep set of stairs lead to the center of this beautiful cliff-top town. One can make the journey by foot or by car. There are many historic buildings, parks and artesian shops to enjoy. From Sorrento it is also possible to tour with OMBRE BLU's private driver to Pompei, Herculaneum or Mount Vesuvius. From Sorrento we will depart to explore the coastline of the Sorrentine Peninsula.

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.
