The Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean,[1] originally the Convention for Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution,[2] and often simply referred to as the Barcelona Convention,[3] is a regional convention adopted in 1976 to prevent and abate pollution from ships, aircraft and land based sources in the Mediterranean Sea. This includes but is not limited to dumping, run-off and discharges. Signers agreed to cooperate and assist in dealing with pollution emergencies, monitoring and scientific research. The convention was adopted on 16 February 1976 and amended on 10 June 1995.[3]
The Barcelona Convention and its protocols form the legal framework of the Mediterranean Action Plan (approved in 1975), developed under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Seas Programme.
