Answer
Operation Mare Nostrum was a joint Italian-led humanitarian and search and rescue mission to patrol the maritime borders of Italy and rescue migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea. The mission was launched in 2013 by then-Prime Minister Enrico Letta, who declared that Italy would not "abandon its shores to the smugglers." The operation was terminated in 2015, and replaced by a European Union-led mission called Operation Triton.
