Working with UN and Regional Organisations
MESL supports regional monitoring networks, particularly in the Caspian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Yellow Sea and ROPME Sea Areas. MESL assists countries and regions with designing monitoring programmes, together with monitoring and assessment of marine pollution (ROPME Sea Area).
