Description
The EU Blue Parks Community is hosting a hybrid workshop ‘Open dialogue: Next steps for the European Blue Parks initiative’ as part of the European Ocean Days, on 4 March. The event will explore and discuss the next steps of the Community in the deployment phase of Mission Ocean and Waters.
This will be the third in-person meeting of this growing network, now connecting over 130 organisations involved in marine protection. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for members to engage directly, exchange insights, and strengthen their involvement.
Why attend?
• Take stock of Mission Ocean and Waters progress on marine protection and restoration, including strict protection.
• Discuss how the EU Blue Parks initiative can contribute to accelerating the achievement of the Mission Ocean and Waters targets for the next deployment phase, and beyond 2030.
• Share your perspectives on the initiative’s next steps, including priorities, challenges and enablers.
