Interreg Euro-MED WE GO COOP
A virtual and collaborative platform for WE GO COOP Mediterranean Community of Practice on Wetland Contracts
Wiki Repository Project websiteThe WE GO COOP-Wiki is an open, interactive, and collaborative platform designed to serve as a comprehensive database of Mediterranean Wetland Contracts.
It plays a crucial role in collecting and organizing information on signed wetland contracts, providing a centralized resource for stakeholders involved in wetland conservation and management. The Wiki offers valuable geolocalized data on various wetland contracts across the Mediterranean region, making it an essential reference tool for anyone seeking insights, legal frameworks, and case studies. By consolidating this information, the platform promotes informed decision-making, encourages knowledge sharing, and fosters collaboration for the sustainable management and protection of wetlands.
The Wetland Contract is a voluntary tool of strategic and negotiated planning based on the active participation of both public and private territorial stakeholders.
According to the Ramsar Convention (1971) wetlands are defined as: “areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres”.

The WE GO COOP-Wiki aims to include experiences developed in different contexts of the Euro-MED, South and Middle East MED regions in order to increase transferability and networking.
Wetlands are globally endangered. In the Mediterranean, the intensification of agriculture, poor water management, and pollution, and increasing urbanization are among the most pressing threats. These challenges intertwine scientific-environmental aspects and governance concerns. Wetland management can be effectively faced only by overcoming sectoral and administrative borders, looking at the Mediterranean ecosystems as a hole.
The repository section serves as a centralized hub where you can find a wide range of resources related to Wetland Contracts. This includes important documents, research papers, informative links, and various materials that provide in-depth knowledge and support for understanding and managing wetland conservation and management agreements. Whether you're looking for legal frameworks, case studies, or technical guidelines, the repository offers valuable tools and references to aid in your research and decision-making.
Search in the repository for outputs, deliverables, methodologies, and other documents developed by projects that have been implementing Wetland Contracts over the years.
