#GreeningEUcooperation: World Oceans Day

World Oceans Day reminds us of the importance of oceans and their ecosystems and of the need to intensify our work towards promoting sustainable blue economy in the EU and abroad. This means that we should continue to push for science-based management of ocean natural resources, including fisheries, by supporting sustainable maritime development within the EU’s partnerships and agreements, and by promoting sustainable fishing in regional fisheries management organisations.

The EU is committed to continue to fight illegal fishing and combat fraud in seafood products under EU regulations, improving fisheries governance in partner countries and helping to develop local economies and advocate that the protection of marine minerals in international waters.
