The Mediterranean Coast and Macro-regional Strategies Week is traditional event, organized in the last week of September, at the occasion of the Mediterranean Coast Day, celebrated on the 25th of September. The 25th of September was chosen as the Mediterranean Coast Day to honour Republic of Slovenia as the first country in the Mediterranean region which ratified the Protocol on Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in 2009. The ICZM Protocol is a unique legal instrument which allows the countries in the Mediterranean to better manage and protect their coastal zones in pursuit of sustainable development. In Slovenia, the celebration is widely known as the “Mediterranean Coast Week” and is inextricably linked to the regional cooperation under the three European macro-regional strategies implemented in the Slovenian territory, namely the Danube, Adriatic-Ionian and Alpine strategy.
