Just over a year after the signing of the North Venice Lagoon Wetland Area Contract, a comparison of active and signed Wetland Area Contracts in the North Adriatic coast is urgently needed to present and coordinate their respective purposes, characteristics and actions. What tools and governance models adopted are working? How to proceed with the implementation of Action Programs and relationships between signatories and Contracts covering the same territory? How to bring out an “ecopolitical science” that takes into account the law of nature by moving out of the “protective” or speculative dynamic?

Spokespersons for the Lagoon Contracts of Caorle, Merano, Istria, the Northern Lagoon of Venice, and the Venetian Coast, together with the Veneto Region, VeGal, National Observatory of River Contracts, and the European project WaterLands, will discuss this issue.
