Strategic global alignment for the EU blue economy 

The Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership organises a workshop at the European Maritime Day 2024, the annual event of Europe’s maritime community. Join us at this workshop promoting international cooperation for a thriving, regenerative and resilient ocean economy.
