The marine knowledge value chain is a core concept of the #OceansPact, set to be presented in Nice, as highlighted by #RémyDenos from #EUMARE. It underscores the step-by-step journey from data collection to actionable insights that support sustainable ocean governance.

🌊🔬 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.

🚨 The leaked EU #OceansPact is a masterclass in smoke & mirrors, its 'actions' mainly a repackaging of existing agreements. Without binding measures the Pact will be more flop than framework. @ec.europa.eu has until 04/06 to fix this. #BackToTheDrawingBoard #BlueManifesto

📢 With only 12% of EU seas designated as protected & destructive fishing still rampant in the so called "protected areas", EU seas are at risk. It's time for the EU to expand #MPAs & ensure they are truly protected.🐳 #ProtectedMeansProtected #OceansPact

📢New analysis
No EU country has comprehensive plans to phase out #BottomTrawling from #MPAs by 2030. This is in spite of EU nature laws & international biodiversity commitments that bind Member States to protect their #MPAs. 🐟

The #OceansPact must fix these failures by strengthening the #MSFD, ensuring legally binding and measurable targets, and securing proper funding. At least 30% of EU seas must be protected by 2030, with 10% under strict protection.

💰Adequate funding secured to implement #OceansPact (mainly through existing resources and by encouraging private investment).

✔️ The #OceansPact – It must be ambitious, with binding targets & dedicated resources to ensure effective implementation.
✔️ The #WaterResilienceStrategy – The source-to-sea approach is a step forward, but pollution reduction & reducing pressures on coastlines and coastal water must be a priority.
