We are pleased to announce that MPA Europe project has been accepted under the “Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters” Charter.

This is a recognition that our project plays a central role in contributing to Mission Ocean and Waters goals:

  1. Protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity, in line with the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030

  2. Prevent and eliminate pollution of our ocean, seas and waters, in line with the EU Action Plan Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil

  3. Make the sustainable blue economy carbon-neutral and circular, in line with the proposed European Climate Law and the holistic vision enshrined in the Sustainable Blue Economy Strategy.

The multidisciplinary approach of MPA Europe will encompass a holistic range of measures to map optimal locations for marine protected areas in European seas, prioritising biodiversity and blue carbon benefits.
