Objective
TO FORMULATE A SCIENTIFICALLY BASED MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR WETLANDS WHICH ARE INTERNATIONALLY IMPORTANT WINTERING AREAS FOR EUROPEAN WATERFOWL.
THESE STUDIES OF THE FUNCTIONING AND MANAGEMENT OF THE ECOSYSTEMS OF INTERNATIONALLY IMPORTANT WETLANDS OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY BOUNDARIES ARE OF RELEVANCE TO BOTH THE DIRECTIVE ON WILD BIRDS AND THE ENVIRONMENT ACTION PROGRAMME. 79/409/EEC SEEKS "PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE PROTECTION ... OF WETLANDS OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE AND SAYS THAT "EFFECTIVE BIRDS PROTECTION IS TYPICALLY A TRANS-FRONTIER ENVIRONMENT PROBLEM ENTAILING COMMON RESPONSIBILITIES". THE ENVIRONMENT ACTION PROGRAMME STRESSES THE "MEDITERRANEAN DIMENSION" OF THE COMMUNITY, "THE PRIOR EVALUATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF MAJOR PROGRAMMES", THE NEED TO "MONITOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ADOPTED MEASURES", THE IUCN WORLD CONSERVATION STRATEGY, THE COMMISSION'S DESIRE TO "CONTINUE AND DEVELOP BILATERAL COOPERATION" AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF "TRAINING AND PUBLIC AWARENESS".
THE PROJECT IS IN 3 PARTS AND AIMS TO COMPLETE EXISTING WORK AT ICHKEUL, TUNISIA WHILST INITIATING STUDIES AT EL KALA, ALGERIA ON AN EXPLORATORY BASIS.
I) ASSESSING ECOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE WETLAND AT ICHKEUL, TUNISIA AFTER THE COMPLETION OF WATER DIVERSION, AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT AND COMPENSATORY MANAGEMENT MEASURES; AND IMPROVING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE NATIONAL PARK THROUGH AN EXTENSION AND REFINEMENT OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL (CONTINUATION OF CONTRACT ENV-676-UK(H);
II) RUNNING A COURSE FOR FIELD STAFF FROM WETLAND PARKS IN THE MAGHREB AND SAHEL;
III) AN EXPLORATORY SURVEY ON THE EL KALA WETLAND IN ALGERIA LEADING TO A PRELIMINARY MANAGEMENT PLAN.
THE RECENTLY DECLARED ALGERIAN NATIONAL PARK AT EL KALA ENCOMPASSES A VERY VARIED GROUP OF FRESH AND BRACKISH LAKES AND MARSHES WITH COMPLEX HYDROLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL INTERLINKAGES. THE PRELIMINARY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR EL KALA WILL BE PREPARED ACCORDING TO THE FORMAT DEVELOPED BY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON FOR THE NATURE CONSERVANCY COUNCIL IN BRITAIN AND ALREADY APPLIED TO WETLANDS AT ICHKEUL (1977), TOUR DU VALAT/PETIT BADON (1981) AND SEBKHET KELBIA (1982).
