On 3 November 2026, the Department of Architecture at Roma Tre University, in collaboration with the Managing Authority of Circeo National Park and the Province of Latina, presented the local results of the Interreg Euro-MED COASTRUST project at an event in Sabaudia, highlighting key achievements and outcomes as the project approaches its final stages.
The initiative provided an important opportunity to highlight the work carried out in the Agro Pontino area to support the stewardship of its coastal and marine natural heritage, emphasising the role of institutions, associations and local communities in protecting the territory.
The project’s main achievements include the jointly developed coastal stewardship strategy, two stewardship actions implemented by local associations, the two stewardship agreements resulting from those actions, and the Stewardship Pact. These tools and initiatives demonstrate the importance of cooperation among local stakeholders in promoting more participatory and sustainable management of natural resources.
The event also highlighted future perspectives for environmental stewardship, emphasising the importance of ensuring the continuity of the initiatives undertaken and strengthening the long-term involvement of local communities and institutions in protecting the coastal natural heritage of the Province of Latina.
COASTRUST brings together organisations from Italy, Croatia, Greece, Malta, Spain, Albania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina to promote shared environmental governance and more sustainable management of coastal and marine natural resources across the Mediterranean. The Agro Pontino experience represents a concrete contribution to this shared effort through stewardship tools and initiatives developed in cooperation with local stakeholders.
