REGISTER NOW FOR EC CONFERENCE ON OCEANS

The oceans are of crucial importance as they are home to a rich biodiversity, act as climate regulators and offer food security. They also contribute to the European economy with a turnover of €566 billion, providing jobs for nearly 3.5 million people.

However, oceans are under increasing pressure from climate change, overfishing, marine litter and many more challenges.

Oceans need to be managed sustainably in order to conserve our fragile marine ecosystems.
