With a budget of 18,000 escudos and a deadline of ten and a half months, the Santiago Coastal and Adjacent Sea Management Plan (POOC-M) is financed by the World Bank and is under the fiduciary management of the Special Projects Management Unit (UGPE).
The presentation ceremony was attended by the Coordinator of the UGPE, Nuno Gomes, and the manager of the Resilient Tourism and Economic Development Project, emCabo Verde, Aguinaldo Marçal. The plan aims to regulate the occupation of the coastline and the adjacent sea, promoting sustainable development for the island of Santiago.
This is another step in the implementation of strategies that guarantee the protection of natural resources and the balanced growth of Cape Verde’s coastal areas.
