• demographic trends (in 2000 274 mio S E 100
  mio 2000-2025, 31 mio in c.a. 75 (380 mio) in
  urban a. by 2025)
• Tourism!!

MSSD

• Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable
  Development
• Overall SD Strategy, adopted in Nov 2005
• Four major objectives
• Increasing economic development

  and coastal zones, and urgently stopping the
  degradation of coastal zones
• Objectives
• preventing and reducing pollution from ships and
  risks of accidents

  management of coastal areas and prevention of
  risks
