Regional Pollution Action Plan

The project aims at the development of remediation action plans for a number of demonstration projects.

The produced Baseline inventory report updates the assessment of Areasof Pollution Concern, with the latest published data. Based on the Baseline Inventory Report the land based pollution sources are prioritized and the conceptual design for the remediation actions (pre-feasibility studies) is developed and distributed to work towards the feasibility studies and in afinal stage the RPAP,

The activities of the Caspian MAP project are delineated according to the following link Dileneation of activities (link naar doc)

The following ranking has been made of the regional sources ofpollution:
