A joint team from the Tour du Valat and the Conservatoire du littoral [1] were in Montenegro to discuss the main conservation issues facing the “Tivatska Solila” [2] special nature reserve, one of the pilot sites for the RESCOM project [3], and to identify the priority ecological restoration actions, in consultation with the Public Enterprise for Coastal Zone Management [4], the site’s managing partner, and local associations, scientists and authorities (CZIP [5], Montenegrine Institute for Marine Biology [6], Municipality of Tivat [7]).
The “Tivatska Solila” special nature reserve is one of the last coastal wetlands in Montenegro and is a resting and feeding area on the migratory route of birds.
A RAMSAR site and Important Bird Area, the reserve is one of six pilot sites in the 4-year RESCOM project [3] supported by the FFEM and the MAVA Foundation and run by the Mediterranean Biodiversity Consortium [8], which aims to implement nature-based solutions in the Mediterranean.
