202525 Years Of The Pelagos Agreement - Set

The Pelagos Sanctuary is the only international sea area dedicated to the protection of marine mammals and their habitats in the Mediterranean Sea. It was established by a Multilateral Agreement between France, Italy and Monaco signed on November 25th, 1999, in order to promote harmonised actions and management measures for the protection of cetaceans and their habitats against all causes of human-induced disturbance and mortality. The Pelagos Sanctuary was listed as a Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI), under the Barcelona Convention developed under the United Nations Environment Programme. As part of the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Agreement, various events and communication actions have been implemented since 25 November 2024 and will continue until the 10th Meeting of the Parties to be held in Monaco at the end of 2025.
