The commission has highlighted that the ongoing revision plays a significant role in advancing the European Ocean Pact, emphasizing the importance of ocean preservation and sustainable management alongside existing maritime and fisheries regulations. This initiative aims to promote a more coordinated effort in handling ocean-related issues.
In conjunction with this revision, the commission is preparing the European Ocean Act, which is intended to foster a comprehensive approach to ocean governance. This coordinated effort underscores the necessity for a unified strategy that addresses the complexities of managing marine resources sustainably.
To gather input from the public, a separate call for evidence and a consultation regarding the European Ocean Act is scheduled for early 2026. This will allow stakeholders and the general public to contribute their perspectives and insights on the proposed legislation.
The commission has announced that the feedback period for ongoing consultations will remain open until March 9, 2026, providing ample opportunity for individuals and organizations to share their views on the critical issue of ocean governance and sustainability.
