Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Adriatic - Ionian

Description

Description (EN):

ADRION seas represent an inexhaustible resource of development and one of the most meaningful natural and social value to protect that in recent decades has been greatly jeopardize. Recognizing environmental risks related to illegal ship waste dumping and inadequate port waste management caused by lack of handling service, project ECOWAVES focuses on S.O. 2.2, Topic 2: “Manage and prevent pollution diffusion” and seeks to prevent the growing tide of plastic and other waste from entering the seas by supporting the development of fundamental long-term transnational sustainable and well-coordinated waste management systems in ADRION countries. Implementation of project activities will result in achievements of 2 main outputs: Transnational strategy focused on waste management for the protection of ports environment and Transnational network for environmental protection of port area. The first output based on management model, is focused on supporting waste management/recycling for the protection of ports environment, which will be shared and adopted by the network established during the project’s implementation, while the second output will set the framework for solid and sustainable cooperation among the different actors collaborating to provide quality services in waste reception, exchange of know-how and knowledge. The main results will be new agreed transnational guidelines, innovative models on port waste management, port areas provided with eco-islands, lighting sign system, monitoring equipment with state-of art methodologies and technologies, as well as agreements signed by cruising lines. All partners benefitting from these results will share new policies locally, nationally and transnationally together with good practices and videos. The added value is thus represented by modern technologies’ implementation, the high degree of sustainability of the model created and its potential for transferability to areas outside the Programme.

Expected Results (EN): Level of capacity of the involved organisations to operate transnational, providing service and management regarding environmental vulnerability, fragmentation, and the safeguarding of ecosystems’ services

Expected Outputs (EN):

One of the project main results will be an evident enhancement of common understanding among partners and stakeholders on the base of shared transnational policies regarding port waste management. Considering that vessels voyaging to and from ADRION countries are major sea polluters, establishing the network of the port authorities and its stakeholders for adoption of the transnational port waste management model, which is the base of the transnational strategy elaborated, and agreement deed with ship operators and cruising lines will be one of the most important result of the project. This will include severe rules for waste management and commitment to inform cruisers of the arrival port waste management system thanks to a video clip showing good practices for environmental protection of port areas. ECOWAVES partners will work hard to put systems in place to ensure common targets are achieved: enhance the capacity in transnationally tackling environmental vulnerability, fragmentation and the safeguarding of ecosystem services in the Adriatic Ionian area. As a result, port areas will be provided with ecoislands, lighting sign system, monitoring equipment with state-of art methodologies and technologies. All Partners will cooperate to the fulfilment of the chosen targets. The innovativeness of the project lays in 2 main aspects, on the one hand the use of the most modern technologies, on the other the creation and validation of a model that can be strengthened and expanded even after the end of European funding and beyond the area of cooperation.
