A new approach for a sustainable blue economy in the EU

The European Commission is proposing a new approach for a sustainable blue economy in the EU for the industries and sectors related to oceans, seas and coasts.  A sustainable blue economy is essential to achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal and ensuring a green and inclusive recovery from the pandemic.

The Communication sets out a detailed agenda for the blue economy to:

• Achieve the objectives of climate neutrality and zero pollution
• Switch to a circular economy and reduce pollution
• Preserve biodiversity and invest in nature
• Support climate adaptation and coastal resilience
• Ensure sustainable food production
• Improve management of space at sea
