NAMIRS maps existing anti-pollution resources in the North Adriatic coast

By project NAMIRS staffPublished on

NAMIRS partner, the University of Ljubljana (ULFPP) has mapped the existing anti-pollution resources of the North Adriatic coast, a vital tool to develop an efficient and sustainable contingency plan.
The report features a detailed mapping of resources, the assessment of oil recovering capacity in the North Adriatic, analysis of cross border strategies and recommendations for improvement.

The sea does not recognize state borderlines. It is only subordinate to the laws of nature. Therefore, a joint action of neighbors is of the utmost importance. Whereas the existing national Contingency Plans are not sufficient enough to tackle such a transboundary threat, NAMIRS will contribute to better preparedness and a more coordinated response at a transnational level, also in line with the Barcelona Convention and related Protocols.
