Sub-thematic focus: To improve monitoring and management of protected areas through supporting scientific, technical and management knowledge base for the monitoring of pressures and impacts on ecosystems, including efficient governance of protected areas.
Project activities: Project will focus on reduction of the potential impact of human activities on environmental heritage, ensuring better protection of natural resources by means of new information and communication tools for water quality monitoring. The project will include several pilot implementation cases for both short-term and long-term water quality monitoring. The project will support management and networking of protected areas by harmonising data and methodologies to set recommendations for improving protected areas management. Developing, disseminating, transferring and capitalising on monitoring practices as well as integrated management of protected areas.
Type of project (module): Module M2 – “Testing”, max 30months
Type of partner we are looking for: Management body of coastal, marine and inland protected areas (public, institutional partner) which can benefit from a state-of-the-art ICT water quality monitoring system. The extent of partner involvement can be limited to your preferences, whether you want to be involved in pilot implementation of the system at your national park/protected area/nature park or only to support the networking of protected areas in the Mediterranean region. We have partners from Greece, Italy and Croatia.

kosterzis@mese.grDear Natasa,
NAIS, an Italian SME, has a long experience in Research projects including a special focus in maritime applications.
In particular NAIS has been leading the MEDUSE FP7 project: Marine Park Enhanced applications based on the use of integrated GNSS (http://www.nais-solutions.it/2014/04/meduse-marine-park-enhanced-applications-based-on-use-of-integrated-gnss/)
After the MEDUSE experience, NAIS is currently promoting CALIPSO, an operational system dedicated on to the Marine Protected Areas while at the same time sharing information to the tourists and yachtsmen through its mobile app available on the major app stores.
Please also visit: http://www.nais-solutions.it/products/calipso/
The service has just started last summer with few Marine parks and we believe that your proposal could benefit by the utilization of a common IT tool at Mediterranean level. Furthermore we can propose the participation of Marine Parks that we have involved in previous R&D activities.
On the other hand NAIS will benefit from a wide benchmark test with users and further customizations if needed by the Project.Best Regards,
Gianluca Gargiulo
