The SPA/RAC is launching two calls for consultation, one for conducting an ecological characterization of the coastal and marine area of Bsis Island in Libya, and the second for developing a socio-economic study of this zone.

Bsis Island is potentially eligible for designation as a Marine Protected Area (MPA). The information gathered from both studies will be crucial for the development of a management plan that will contribute to the effective management and preservation of the terrestrial, coastal, and marine heritage components of the future MPA.

This initiative is supported by the EU-funded project " Bolstering Mediterranean Biodiversity and MCPAs for Nature " (SEMPA Project).

For more information on participation requirements, evaluation procedures, and other relevant information regarding these calls, please refer to the following Terms of Reference:

• Terms of Reference for the elaboration of ecological study of the coastal and marine area of Bsis Island in Libya.
• Terms of Reference for the elaboration of socio-economic study of the coastal and marine area of Bsis Island in Libya.
