Building momentum for marine protection

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Mission Ocean and Waters newsletter, exploring the latest solutions and efforts to restore our ocean and waters by 2030.
|
|
|
|
|
In this issue, we bring you the latest news, including the exciting addition of new projects to Mission Ocean and Waters, developments in project solutions, and introduce you to Mission Charter actions working to achieve Mission Ocean and Waters objectives. We will take a closer look at actions aiming to prevent and eliminate pollution from our ocean, seas and waters and the different approaches they take.
As children and students return to school, we will dive into Mission solutions in ocean literacy. Take a look at the latest apps, platforms and resources that make it easier for teachers to bring the importance of ocean conservation into the classroom. We also focus on Mission Ocean and Waters projects engaging with the younger generation and enhancing the blue curriculum in European schools.
As always, the newsletter includes open funding calls and events relevant to the Mission. All upcoming events, news and further support can be found online on the Mission Ocean and Waters Service Portal.
