To set out a Catalan blue pact based on public/private cooperation for the preservation and sustainable usage of the Catalan coastline

Climate change endangers the Catalan coastline and the survival of the maritime economy. In order to strengthen the maritime R&D network formed by the Government of Catalonia it is important to promote a pact that incorporates public and private agents, including local fisheries action groups, which prioritises key joint actions for the preservation and sustainable usage of the Catalan coastline. It is also necessary for local authorities to take part in order to make progress with the joint preparation of actions to preserve nature and the sea, taking as an excellent example the currently emerging Master Plan for the Use and Management of the Marine Area in Cap de Creus Nature Park, which should help to strike a balance between the preservation of a significant nature area in Catalonia and the economic activity linked to it.
