Accord RAMOGE - Prévention et lutte contre la pollution marine. L'Accord
RAMOGE signé en 1976 est l'instrument dont se sont dotés la France, Monaco
et l'Italie pour une gestion intégrée du littoral.Les zones maritimes
de la Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, de la Principauté de Monaco et
de la Région Ligurie constituent une zone pilote de prévention et de lutte
contre la pollution du milieu marin.

It was in 1970, in the border zone of Italy, Monaco
and France. At that time the three countries were little concerned
by the pollution they created along the coastal area bounded by Saint-Raphaël
and Genoa.
But in the autumn of 1970, in the context of a policy
aimed at the protection or even the rescue of natural environments
and their resources, His Serene Highness Prince Rainier III
of Monaco took the initiative of proposing the
creation of a pilot area in the fight against maritime pollution
in this Mediterranean region that attracted so many tourists
and was so strongly envied for its climate.
This new awareness underlined
the fact that protecting this zone should be a priority requiring
joint, coordinated effort by the three countries concerned.
The project was given the name RAMOGE, derived from the first syllables
of the names of the three towns, Saint-Raphaël, Monaco
and Genoa, situated at the limits and the centre of the chosen
zone.
Since then these limits have been extended to the towns of Marseille
and La Spezia.
The project took on concrete form as successive stages were accomplished:
exhaustive studies and the drafting
of a report on the RAMOGE coastline seen from different technical
and administrative viewpoints. This report, jointly drawn up by French,
Italian and Monegasque scientists and published by the Centre Scientifique
de Monaco, listed concrete proposals and priority actions to be undertaken
to protect and even rescue this natural environment.
