Limassol, Cyprus Workshop at the EMD 2026 “Making the Sea-Basin Approach Work: Cooperation through MSP”
The NESB project, together with the MEDIGREEN project, invites you to join the interactive workshop session “Making the Sea-Basin Approach Work: Cooperation through MSP”, taking place during European Maritime Day 2026 on 21 May 2026, from 15:15 to 16:30 (EEST).
Why a Sea-Basin Approach Matters?
The ambitions set for the environmental protection, offshore renewable energy and sustainable food production are high and complex. In addition, due to geopolitical situations, stronger emphasis has been set on self-reliance and (economic) competitiveness, hence the Ocean Pact was developed. To tackle all these complexities, the sea-basin approach has been brought up as a way forward to support countries in strengthening the Ecosystem-Based Approach in strategic planning at sea, moving towards integrative, coherent and adaptive MSP at sea-basin scale.
Through an interactive panel discussion, together with participants and panel experts we will dive into the topics of ocean governance, ecosystem based approach, multi-use and cooperation with non-EU countries as a way to share best practices and lessons learned between the Baltic, North and Mediterranean sea basins and the role EU projects can play in support of a sea basin approach.
Join the session at European Maritime Day 2026 by registering for the event here. The event will take place in Limassol, Cyprus, on 21–22 May 2026.
