Exactly, at this point there are too many organisation that need to coordinate.There are, around Med Basin, a lot of initiative, without any coordination. Just to better focus I retype here a part of my post: "Creating a regional alliance, ICOM-Mediterranean, can help countries and regional alliances to better interface one-each-other, to better deal with European Union (or other bodies) to concentrate investment avoiding duplicate.Icom-Mediterranean can also coordinate all the small/local initiatives that till now are made around the Basin." Of course need cooperation of all or ICOM-Med will become an empty container. I hope to receive other consideration about this idea, to afford positive and negative sides.
