Overview

Background & policy context:

There are many negative environmental impacts caused directly or indirectly by port activities. The aim of this project was to reduce and minimise these negative impacts. This was to be achieved through the implementation of Environment Management Systems (EMAS) into the local Port Authority Organisation. In particular, the project was to focus on the promotion of environmental awareness among all port operators and on raising awareness of the environmental impacts of port activities. Furthermore, the project was to disseminate and implement EMAS II actions. EU environmental policies were to provide the foundation for policy and management actions among the local operators in order to achieve environmental improvements in the port.

Objectives:

The EMAS PO.LI. project had two main goals:

To establish a policy for the continuous improvement of the environmental and safety performances within the port, which would in time involve all the stakeholders and be based on knowledge from a thorough preliminary environmental analysis.
To carry out the physical planning in order to achieve sustainable development.

More specifically, the aims were:

To create a shared system of actions in port areas to minimise the negative environmental impacts of port activities;
To foster environmental awareness and encourage sustainable development objectives in planning activities;
To improve participation in the planning of activities;
To disseminate EMAS II.
