SUSTAINABLE FINANCING OF MPAs IN THE MEDITERRANEAN: A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
▪ Create new MPAs in order to achieve Aichi Target 11 of 10% of marine territory.
▪ Operate all programs to reach and sustain an effective level of management within
the existing MPAs and the identified missing MPAs.
In the sample, not all the countries have reported on their own plans to achieve the Aichi
targets. This is the reason why it was decided to extrapolate from the current surface area of
MPAs in each country, the total surface area to be extended, or created, in order to comply
2
with the 10% target. MedPAN information (2012) on MPA surface areas (in km ) in each
country was used as a baseline.
The financing gap for achievement of the Aichi target is calculated using the information
provided on resource mobilisation at the national level (Chapter 4) and the financial
requirements for MPAs (Chapter 3).
