Blue Manifesto
We have a rescue plan for Europe’s seas for the next ten years. European countries are legally-bound to put a number of measures in place to achieve clean and healthy seas. They failed to do so before 2020. The following, therefore still needs to be done as a matter of urgency to address the gap delivering on commitments.
In the past decades, we have witnessed a succession of strategies and action plans for safeguarding the ocean. While these plans were needed, they have never been fully implemented. In 2008, European governments committed to have “ecologically diverse and dynamic oceans and seas which are clean, healthy and productive” by 2020. They are nowhere near achieving this. On any given day, a dolphin in the ocean has to navigate warming and more acidic seas. While also dodging trawling nets, offshore drilling, noisy and heavily polluting ships, invasive species, diseases from farmed fish, dead zones, construction, tourism, and swatches of pollutant-laden plastics and microplastics.
