Our @SourceToSeas workshop at #EMD2025 was a powerful reminder that effective science communication and stakeholder engagement around #marinepollution are not optional but essential. Big thank you to all participants, facilitators and speakers!!! www.marei.ie/marei-worksh...
Over 20 years, we've built a strong EU cooperation model for fisheries control — thanks to the dedication of our inspectors. 💪🌊

Back-to-back with #EMD2025, we hosted the Steering Group meetings for the #NorthSea, #BalticSea & #WesternWaters — followed by a visit aboard our vessel!⚓️
On the agenda: the assessment of the 2024 #JointDeploymentPlans — strengthening regional coordination in #FisheriesControl.
🌊At #EMD2025 we presented with @efca-eu.bsky.social and @emsa-eu.bsky.social our joint role in the EU Maritime Security Strategy.
Our cooperation makes real impact through joint operations, risk analysis, surveillance & capacity building for EU maritime security.
At #EMD2025 we met with Minister Timmy Dooley & European Commissioner for the Oceans
Costas Kadis to discuss the need for management plans to protect our marine areas as well as greater enforcement of existing laws and our hopes for a strong, ambitious EU Ocean Pact
SURIMI was proud to take part in #EuropeanMaritimeDays in Cork! Great conversations around sustainable #fisheries, innovation & marine policy. Through the #DigitalTwinOcean, SURIMI aims to contribute co-created models that value both the social and ecological dimensions of fisheries 🌊🐟 #EMD2025
A castle/observatory (Blackrock), a Georgian prison, a Victorian public waterworks, a fort, art gallery, Africa Day in the park, both rain and shine, and of course some Beamish. A really nice day in #Cork following #EMD2025.

Excellent final day of #EMD2025 in Cork, discussions on Marine Spatial Planning, our own successful @icesmarine.bsky.social interactive FEISA workshop, and visits to 🇮🇪 research vessel Tom Crean,🇪🇺 @efca-eu.bsky.social #fisheries patrol vessel and the 🇮🇪 BIM mobile aquaculture classoom.
The session wrapped up with Marina Tonani
from @mercatorocean.bsky.social highlighting how ocean observations are key to powering the European Digital Twin Ocean 🌊🛰️
A step forward for #DigitalOcean innovation at #EMD2025!
Joana Beja from @vliz.be, Coordinator of @emodnet.bsky.social Biology, showcased how #EMODnetBiology tackles gaps in #MarineBiodiversity data 🐠🌊 at #EMD2025.
Its mission? To collect, harmonize, and make marine biological data from across Europe #FAIR and accessible for all #OceanData
🌊🔬 Marine Knowledge, recognised in the #OceansPact as a key enabler of a healthy and prosperous ocean, is more critical than ever.
At #EMD2025, our workshop, moderated by #UrmasLips, highlighted the essential role of ocean observation in turning that vision into reality.
#EMD2025 may be over, but we leave with wonderful memories, inspiring new connections, and hearts full of hope. Thank you to Cork and the amazing people of Ireland!
