🌊 MedPAN's participation in the EU Mission: Restore Our Ocean and Waters 🌿To voice higher the messages and needs of Mediterranean Marine Protected Area (MPA) managers, MedPAN is taking part in the Mission Ocean - an ambitious European initiative aiming to restore and protect our oceans, rivers, lakes, and wetlands by 2030. MedPAN has signed its Charter and is an active member of the Mediterranean Lighthouse. In addition, MedPAN has also joined the #EUBlueParks Community, a dynamic platform for EU Member State authorities, practitioners, researchers and stakeholders to collaborate on marine protection across Europe. Through this collaboration, we aim to further share the Mediterranean challenges and experiences on management and protection of Mediterranean MPAs, ensuring we are effectively promoting sustainable coastal and marine practices. Together, with the support of the Mission Ocean and as part of the #EUBlueParks Community, we can foster science-based conservation, share best practices, and accelerate the restoration of marine ecosystems across the region. 👇 More details on this initiative and how to get involved on the fact sheet below and via this link: https://lnkd.in/e6tW-pGK #MarineProtection #BlueParks #EUmission
