The implementing institution involved from Armenia is “Young Foresters Union” with the involvement of three other partners in the project. Living along a common Sea, requires for the achievement of sustainable water management, the surrounding countries to adopt common methods and practices. This is one of the main strengths of the project since it has partners from five different countries and the activities take place in all participating countries.
The overall objective of “Protect-Streams-4-Sea” is the environmental protection and reduction of pollutants and litter in Black Sea. This will be done by focusing on the inland pollutants and litter, specifically from the rivers and their watersheds that end in the Black Sea. To achieve this, a joint monitoring program on these pollutants and litter will be established to promote the coordination of environmental protection and joint reduction of pollutants and litter through the adoption of best management practices. This will help lead to the sustainable growth and improve the welfare of the people of the region.
