Object of competition The Consorzio di Gestione of Torre Guaceto announces a competition of ideas for the creation of a logo capable of synthesizing the contents of the project PRO.ACT. NATURA 2000 Protection Actions for Cross-Border and Joint Management of Marine Sites of Community Interest (Natura 2000) financed on the field of the Operational Programme EUROPEAN TERRITORIAL COOPERATION PROGRAMME GREECE - ITALY , Priority Axis 3, Specific Objective 3.2. The Mediterranean Sea, one of the widest eco-region of the planet, by its biodiversity richness, is among the most important ecosystems in the world. The main threats that are putting at risk species, habitats and entire ecosystems of Mediterranean biodiversity, are caused by the impact of human activities. One of the policies is proving more effective is the establishment of Marine Protected Areas. The complexity of the marine ecosystem makes the task of managing bodies more difficult. Furthermore, it has not yet established an effective management model for Marine Protected Areas and marine Sites of Community Importance. The common area between Puglia and western Greece, with some of the most important marine areas, treasures of biodiversity, is also concerned by the presence of a priority species under the Habitats Directive 92/43, with ecology still little known and sensitive to human threats: the sea Loggerhead Turtle Caretta Caretta. The sea turtle is seriously threatened by the difficulty to nest and the phenomenon of by-catch. Recent studies have shown that the western region of Greece is the nesting one of population of loggerhead turtles, who prefer to use the Salento coast to feed. This project, developed by management bodies of MPAs and Marine SCIs, aims to develop a joint cross-border strategy to face the threats described above, to ensure improved governance, maintenance of a biodiversity and conservation of a population of Caretta caretta, with high ecological value. The basic belief is that to tackle these problems, complex and spatially extensive, the only possible strategy is to develop joint actions. The project is organized in 3 WP; one is dedicated to the development of a management model for marine areas, which will be applied to the project areas, a specific WP aims to create a cross-border network for the protection and conservation of marine turtle Caretta caretta, and the last WP contains the follow-up actions, necessary for the keeping of the results achieved during the project, creating a cross-border association for exchange of expertise and the identification of common strategies for the integrated management of the coastal system.
