What the Ocean and Waters Mission deals with

The goal of the Ocean's Mission is to restore our oceans and waters by 2030.

Man-made changes are putting our ocean and waters at serious risk leading to pollution, biodiversity loss and extreme weather events such as floods, droughts and heatwaves.

Therefore, the 3 Mission objectives are :

  1. Protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity in line with EU biodiversity strategy.
  2. Prevent and eliminate pollution of our ocean, seas and waters in line with the EU action plan towards zero pollution.
  3. Make the blue economy carbon neutral and circular in line with the European Climate law.

Ocean Mission Implementation Plan

The Ocean Mission Implementation Plan aims to be the operational blueprint for how the Commission will deliver on the overall objective of the Mission on Ocean.
