Blue Ocean Foundation calls for greater ambition in future European Ocean Law.

The Blue Ocean Foundation argued in Brussels that the future European Ocean Law should place the sea at the center of European Union priorities.

The organization believes that the ocean cannot continue to be treated solely as an environmental issue, also stressing its strategic importance for the economy, security, energy, science and transport.

The position was presented in a joint document with Europe Jacques Delors, which calls for a more ambitious approach from Brussels. According to the authors, the new law must go beyond a simple update of European maritime policy and recognize the ocean as an essential dimension for the future of the European project.

The Blue Ocean Foundation further argues that protecting and enhancing the sea is a strategic necessity at a time when oceans are gaining increasing weight in climate, geopolitical and economic issues.
