An Observatory to Monitor Mediterranean Wetlands

The Mediterranean Wetlands Observatory (MWO) was created under the aegis of the MedWet
initiative of the Ramsar Convention, aimed at informing decisionmakers on appropriate measures
for wetland preservation. Four years after the effective launch of the MWO, lessons have
been drawn from both its strengths and weaknesses, and discussions have taken place on how to
better reach MWO objectives.
