Join the EU Blue Parks Community in Brussels on 7 March for the second community workshop; 'Effective management of marine protected areas'. This not-to-be-missed event will be held alongside the Mission Forum and EU Ocean Days. Pre-register here by the 26th of February.

The workshop will bring together experts to share insights on the challenges and opportunities in marine and freshwater biodiversity protection. Through a blend of presentations, case studies, and interactive discussions, the workshop will highlight key EU funded projects and research innovations in effective marine and coastal protection, delve into policy development needs, and explore participatory approaches from EU Member States, regional, and local stakeholders. It's a crucial moment for the EU Blue Parks Community and an important opportunity for discussion and networking.
