What Is the European Ocean Pact? And why is it necessary?

Source: European Commission (video statements)

The ocean powers life on Earth. It covers 70% of the planet, produces half our oxygen, and holds 80% of global biodiversity. But it’s at a tipping point.

To protect this vital resource while unlocking its full potential, the EU launched the European Ocean Pact, a unified strategy to shape the future of ocean governance.

From fisheries to offshore wind. From biodiversity to marine research. From local communities to global cooperation. One Ocean, One strategy. #EUOceanPact
