Project description

The Mediterranean Wetlands Initiative (MedWet) tasked MedINA with relaunching its Culture Network. The network’s objectives include spreading awareness of the cultural values of Mediterranean wetlands amongst  managers, experts, policy-makers and the general public, monitoring developments relating to culture and wetlands around the Mediterranean basin, offering advice and providing ways for the exchange of information, and assisting in the implementation of the Ramsar Guidance on Culture and Wetlands and other initiatives related to culture in order to encourage co-operation amongst relevant institutions, wetland sites and professionals.

MedINA undertook the task of developing and launching the MedWet Culture Network website and renewing its membership. By monitoring developments related to culture and wetlands across the Mediterranean region, it was able to provide the network’s members with up-to-date information while simultaneously developing a draft action plan on the cultural dimensions of wetland management.
