What we achieve

DELIVERABLES

MIRAMAR will produce a set of concrete, high-value deliverables aimed at supporting environmental monitoring, management and policy action across the Mediterranean:

  • Harmonized strategies to monitor the cumulative impact of multiple stressors in degraded ecosystems
  • Toolkits for assessing combined effects of pollution, invasive species and habitat degradation
  • Assessment of the cumulative impact of multiple stressors in the nine pilot areas
  • Good Practices, developed through Living Labs, illustrating successful examples of restoration and mitigation
  • Training on monitoring cumulative impact and identifying pollution mitigation and restoration solutions

RESULTS

The overall results, experience and lessons learned from MIRAMAR will be translated into strategic results, designed for long-term use and replication:

  • Harmonized monitoring protocols
  • Operational roadmaps for ecosystem mitigation and restoration
  • Evidence-based tools and guidelines to support environmental governance
  • Cross-sectoral engagement models (e.g. Living Labs, stakeholder co-creation)
  • Policy-aligned frameworks to guide decision-makers in the Mediterranean region

LONG LASTING IMPACTS

Our vision extends beyond the project timeline — MIRAMAR aims to embed its knowledge, tools and methods into the environmental governance of the Mediterranean, shaping more sustainable and resilient ecosystems for the years to come.

In the medium and long term, we aim to:

  • Scale up the use of MIRAMAR’s protocols and toolkits across new regions, ecosystems and management contexts.
  • Inspire policy uptake by aligning project outcomes with key strategies such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the Barcelona Convention and UFM environmental agenda.
  • Support replication through open access resources, training materials, and long-term capacity building with stakeholders.
  • Encourage adoption of the MIRAMAR approach via formal commitments, including Declarations of Intent from key actors involved in the pilot areas
  • Leverage the role of our 14 associated partners, who represent public institutions, environmental agencies and NGOs across the Mediterranean. Their early involvement ensures that MIRAMAR’s tools are tested, adapted and transferred into real-life management and policy practices.
