Mission & Goals
The Med Sea Alliance’s vision is a Mediterranean Sea with a rich and resilient ecosystem, where the rules and practice of fishing support the health of the marine environment and benefit the communities that depend on it. Our goal is for the Mediterranean Sea to no longer be seen as a resource for endless exploitation, but as a shared natural treasure to be protected for generations to come. The Med Sea Alliance is a campaign movement created in 2020 to bring together 19 non-government organizations and other civil society groups working to improve the health and productivity of the Mediterranean Sea. Among myriad threats to the health and productivity of the Mediterranean Sea, the Alliance has identified 3 interrelated strategic issues to focus on: - Impact of destructive fishing, with a focus on overfishing and ecosystem damage. - A culture of non-compliance and lack of enforcement of existing regulations. - The need for a more extensive and coherent network of protected areas.
