The Management Plan 2022-2027 (MOP8, December 15-16, 2022, Rome) formally recognizes the key role of all stakeholders in the Pelagos Sanctuary and proposes a new participatory, inclusive and democratic approach to its management.
“A Sanctuary which belongs to everybody and for everybody” implies shared responsibilities.
