During the project development stage, several countries that have not yet ratified the ICZM Protocol requested an analysis of their legal framework in relation to the ICZM Protocol. In addition to conducting national legal studies, the legal expert team has conducted a comparative analysis of the coastal legislation in five selected Mediterranean countries. Their findings and recommendations for coastal legislation were discussed at the regional workshop, which took place in Split, Croatia, on May 25th 2023, for the representatives of the following States: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Montenegro, Morocco and Tunisia. Based on these discussions, international and national legal experts, government representatives, and PAP/RAC team members further refined and finalised the Recommendations.
