Oceano Azul Foundation calls for more ambition in the future European Oceans Law.

The Oceano Azul Foundation defended, in Brussels, that the future European Ocean Law should place the sea at the center of the European Union’s priorities.

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

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

The Oceano Azul Foundation also argues that protecting and valuing the sea is a strategic necessity, at a time when the oceans are gaining increasing importance in climate, geopolitical and economic issues.
