The Mediterranean Biodiversity Hotspot
Mediterranean wetland are among the most productive ecosystems in
this region with a very high biodiversity richness
…Paradoxically, they are also the most threatened by human activities
![Page 6: Wetlands monitoring using spatial indicators derived from EO data (SDG … · 2019-02-19 · SDG 6.6.1: Wetlands and water related ecosystems extent Vegetated wetlands Open water](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042407/5f21258e5d365207634726b8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Many knowledge gaps:
What is the total extent of wetland ecosystems in the Mediterranean countries?
Their water quality
What is the status of their biodiversity?
How to evaluate their ecosystem services?
What are their positions in the political agendas?
…
➔ There is a need to develop regional assessment tools…
In addition to that…We still need to have a regional picture of their status in
order to improve their protection

The MWO aims to monitor the status and trends
of wetlands in all Mediterranean countries
In this context…
Objective:
A better dissemination of the knowledge and build links
between science and policies in order to improve the
conservation and the protection of wetlands
How ? ➔ by developing a set of indicators to assess the status and
trends of Mediterranean wetlands as well as their ecosystem services

The ultimate objective is to…
Promote a regional framework for wetland protection and conservation through
national legislations or through multilateral agreements
How?
By providing a harmonized pan-Mediterranean general picture of wetland status
regarding their:
▪ location;
▪ delineation;
▪ main ecological characteristics;
▪ Threats; and
▪ conservation status

This general picture should be…
➢ Developed using a broad definition of wetland ecosystems
➢ Generated through geo-referenced layers and maps linked to a
regional datasets
➢ “Downscaled” and adapted by each country according to its
national specifications (e.g. using their proper wetlands definition)
➢ Used as a baseline to help countries to:
▪ start, finalize or update their national inventories;
▪ use their up-to-date inventories as a significant tool for the
implementation of appropriate conservation and/or restoration
measures
