Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972. What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located. The natural marine heritage is recollected into MAPAMED which is a cartographic database of key information on Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) potential Other Effective área-based Conservation Measure (OECMs), and more broadly on sites of interest for marine conservation. It is developed and administered jointly by UNEP/MAP-SPA/RAC and the MedPAN Association. For detailed information, please consult the MAPAMED user manual (April 2021 version).

ACCOBAMS is working on the identification of new relevant of Cetaceans Critical Habitats (CCH) in the ACCOBAMS area, in order to propose appropriate threats management or spatial management measures. The identification is based on the overlapping of areas of interest for Marine Mammals (IMMAs) and mapping of anthropogenic threats. These areas are recollected into MAPAMED which is a cartographic database of key information on Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) potential Other Effective área-based Conservation Measure (OECMs), and more broadly on sites of interest for marine conservation. It is developed and administered jointly by UNEP/MAP-SPA/RAC and the MedPAN Association. For detailed information, please consult the MAPAMED user manual (April 2021 version).

The EBSAs are special areas in the ocean that serve important purposes, in one way or another, to support the healthy functioning of oceans and the many services that it provides. These areas are recollected into MAPAMED which is a cartographic database of key information on Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) potential Other Effective área-based Conservation Measure (OECMs), and more broadly on sites of interest for marine conservation. It is developed and administered jointly by UNEP/MAP-SPA/RAC and the MedPAN Association. For detailed information, please consult the MAPAMED user manual (April 2021 version).

Transborder Fix line transect are used to assess amount, composition, and spatial distribution of floating macro litter, bigger than 20 cm, along fixed trans-border transects in the Mediterranean basin. The transects, monitored all year round, cross the south east partof Ligurian Sea, Sardinian Balearic basin, Bonifacio Strait, Central Tyrrhenian Sea, Sicilian Sardinian Channels, Adriatic Sea , and Ionian Sea. The surveyed area en-compasses a large portion of the Mediterranean Sea and falls withinthree MSFD marine subregions: the Western Mediterranean Sea, theAdriatic Sea, the Ionian and Central Mediterranean Sea.
