WETNET is a Pilot Project of the biodiversity protection community funded by the Interreg Med Programme. The WETNET project deals with "Coordinated management and networking of Mediterranean wetlands". In this specific pilot site, testing of a governance tool (Wetland Contract) for protected wetland management are addressed. Wetlands in Europa are vulnerable interconnected environments, with important contributions to biodiversity. Their protection intertwines scientific-environmental aspects and governance concerns. WETNET tackles the issue of implementing multilevel governance for MED wetlands in order to improve wetlands ecosystem and their surrounding local systems. The project aims at ensuring higher coordination between different levels of spatial planning and authorities in charge of their management, whilst limiting conflicts between conservation issues and economic activities. By defining common priorities for MED wetlands conservation, WETNET seeks to test and transfer ‘Wetlands Contracts’, acting through broad participatory procees where users, private and public entities are committed in mainstreaming wetland conservation into their daily activities. This project aims to: • Increase the knowledge of Wetlands Contracts effectiveness; • Strengthen existing transnational networks for sharing and disseminating information and good practices on wetlands conservation, The project partnetship involves all authorities and typology of stakeholders operating in the target field. It will allow WETNET to meet the wetlands needs at abroad scale, ensuring the transferability of its results to other EU countries. This data shows type and location of the partners involved in the project.
