Place: Online
Hosted by: Mission Ocean and Waters
This upcoming online event marks the 5th workshop in the EU Blue Parks Community series, which brings together over 115 organisations dedicated to marine protection under the Mission Ocean and Waters initiative. This workshop will focus on exploring and discussing key outcomes and the expected impact of EU-funded projects under Mission and Horizon Europe on marine protection targets. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from these projects about good practices, impacts, and implemented solutions for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), contributing to the Mission Ocean and Waters goal of protecting and restoring EU sea areas by 2030. The workshop will also serve as a platform for exchanging ideas and identifying opportunities to enhance synergies among projects, aiming to boost replication, upscaling, and improved designation, management, and monitoring of EU MPAs.
