The Mediterranean maritime frontage is a noteworthy geographical area in terms of ecological richness, coastal urbanization and demographic pressure of all sorts, but also in terms of protection efforts.
However, the concentration of activities and the rising demographic growth impact negatively this area and triggers a great number of questions for all political actors, decision-makers and professionals committed in its planning, its organization and management.
Thus, the Mediterranean coastline is calling out to all those actors on these issues and others dealing with the preservation of natural sites, the dynamic of biodiversity, ecology, sustainable development and natural risks.
In response to the callings and expectations of different actors of the coastline, the Mediterranean Union of Surveyors (UMG), which is faithful to its commitment in favour of the development of the Mediterranean countries and the rallying of all potentials, dedicates its first congress to the theme :
« The Mediterranean coastline : vector of dialogue and sustainable development ».
I have the great pleasure, on behalf of all UMG members, to invite you to take part massively and to contribute actively to the enrichment of the debate thanks to your expertise, your experience and your thoughts.
I wish this congress to be a forum of debates and exchanges of ideas on the issues presenting a particular
interest to all the stakeholders belonging to the Mediterranean coastline.
