"Blue Plan" for Mediterranean environmental protection

On 16 February 1976, at the Barcelona Convention for Protection against Pollution in the Mediterranean Sea, an association of Mediterranean states declared in the three-staged “Blue Plan” their intent and willingness to act to preserve the sea and its ecosystems from pollution and exploitation. It was perhaps the first noticeable indication of a transnational consciousness of Mediterranean environmental protection.
