As a member of the Mediterranean Posidonia Network (MPN) task force, SPA/RAC co-organised the 2nd MPN Seminar, held from 5 to 9 May 2025 in Hammamet, Tunisia.
The event brought together 92 participants from 16 Mediterranean countries, united by the common goal of restoring 100% of threatened Posidonia oceanica meadows in the Mediterranean by 2030.
This edition marked a key milestone with the validation of the MPN Roadmap—a strategic framework guiding regional conservation and restoration efforts for Posidonia oceanica, aligned with the implementation of the SPA/BD Protocol, the Post-2020 SAPBIO, and the Regional Action Plan for Marine Vegetation.
Among the participants were Mahmoud Elyes Hamza, Director of UNEP/MAP – SPA/RAC; Florent Merle, Deputy Director of the European and International Relations Department at the Office français de la biodiversité; and Degron Robin, Director of Plan Bleu.
