Together for the Med brings together 46 organisations through 15 projects to reduce fishing pressure on marine biodiversity in the Mediterranean sea.
We are NGOs, International Organisations, research centres, private companies, networks or foundations. We are all committed to reducing the pressures on Mediterranean biodiversity. We work together to bring fisheries sustainability, reduce their impact on seagrass meadows and coralligenous habitats, reduce the accidental bycatch of cetaceans, seabirds, sea turtles and sharks, or reduce the negative interactions between fishers and marine mammals. We are Together for the Med, and we want to share our story.
