Improve the cross-border management of Lake Skadar through research into the breeding ecology of the Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus). Train relevant national institutions in monitoring protocols and data management. Raise awareness of the threats faced among all stakeholders and promote "pelican-friendly" tourism activities that will mitigate disturbance to the colony while allowing visitors a better viewing experience.

Strategic Direction: 3 Improve the conservation and protection status of 44 priority key biodiversity areas
