Medigreen is a MSP project that specifically focuses on offshore renewable energy, fisheries, aquaculture, and nature protection, aiming to promote a sustainable blue economy. Through these four work packages, MEDIGREEN investigates the impact of MSP on the European Green Deal, develops national actions for sectoral responses, and explores a Mediterranean pathway toward sustainability.

By fostering transnational cooperation, the project helps EU (France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Malta) and non-EU countries (Algeria and Tunisia) align their MSP strategies with environmental goals, ensuring a balanced approach to marine resource management.

Medigreen is an EC funded (EMFAF) project that runs from November 2024 to April 2027.

The project is a leading contributor to the Mediterranean MSP Community of Practice (MED-MSP-CoP), with a team that coordinates both projects.
Medigreen also plans several thematic workshops aimed at stakeholders in all WestED countries in 2025 and 2026.  Because of its relevance for the WestMED Initiative, it receives active support from several WestMED team members, such as Samir Bachouhce (WestMED Algeria), Thanos Smanis (WestMED central team) and Marta Pascual (WestMED Spain).
