The Mayor and the Municipal Council of Recco fully share the objectives and approach of the EU Mission Restore our Oceans and Waters. To best contribute to it, the city's development plan of the years to come will be aligned with the Mission Implementation Plan resulting in the Deployment Agenda called “Mission Ventimiglia”.
The rationale is to establish synergies with interested Municipalities with whom acting together leaving “no one behind”. Accordingly, the plan encompasses several actions to be carried out jointly with the Coalition (which SDG4MED is the secretariat of), as follows:
a) deploy solutions to protect, restore and depollute marine and freshwater ecosystems
b) promote development and sharing of knowledge and good practices on sustainable and carbon-neutral blue economy
c) involve citizens, students and private stakeholders.
The mission of the municipality of Recco is aimed at safeguarding and cleaning the seabed and beaches, a cleaning activity is carried out in synergy with the divers' associations present in the area and with the municipal youth council.
This activity is carried out following the celebration of 8 September each year: the largest fireworks festival in northern Italy.
We are also following the project to renovate the sewage pipeline of the Municipalities of Recco, Avegno and Uscio for the cleaning of the stream with the collection of waste in the bed of the stream.
The mission of the Municipality of Recco is aimed at the constant training and involvement of citizens and in particular of young people
From a practical viewpoint, the Municipality of Recco will:
1. identify and map its territorial needs and opportunities
2. co-design, together with citizens and stakeholders, its local action plan
3. tune its action plan with that of the member municipalities of the Coalition resulting in the Coalition Shared Action Plan
4. deploy the Action Plan
5. keep the Mission periodically informed via the Coalition spokesperson and through the BlueMissionMed CSA.
