As part of this service, Sunce is preparing an expert study for the need to create an expert basis for changing the boundaries of the Significant Pakleni Islands landscape with the extension of protection to the sea.

Declining a protected marine area aims to protect and restore natural habitats, increase the fish stock, and preserve biodiversity, as our greatest natural wealth.

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation supports the project “Integrated management of natural resources of the small islands of the Mediterranean (SMILO-Med)” which enables the small islands of the SMILO network (Lipari – Italy, Porquerolles – France, Sifnos – Greece, Pakleni otoci – Croatia) to implement concrete actions that they provide exemplary solutions for conservation and sustainable management of natural resources, while promoting dialogue among them, and with other islands around the world.
