EU Ocean Days - Together for change: A Coalition to empower communities for Mission Ocean and Waters
The European Ocean Days 2026 is a week-long event (2–6 March 2026) that brings Europe’s blue community together to shape the future of ocean and waters. Strongly linked with the EU Mission Restore Our Ocean and Waters, this multi-stakeholder event offers a platform to align research & innovation policy, investment and community engagement around the shared goals of fighting pollution, restoring ecosystems and accelerating a transition toward a carbon-neutral, circular blue economy.
This event will bring together representatives from regions, cities, ports and islands, alongside all Mission Ocean and Waters communities and Mission Charter signatories, to celebrate and strengthen the growing community for the Mission. As the Mission enters its second phase, focused on large-scale deployment, the essential role of local actors comes into sharper focus. The event will spotlight the communities active across the four Mission Lighthouse sea and river basins, showcasing successful initiatives, exploring the value of different forms of support and technical assistance, discussing lessons learnt and remaining needs, and generating further actions. The session will be co-organised by the European Commission and CO-WATERS, the Coordination and Support Action implementing the Coalition of cities, regions, islands and ports for the Mission Ocean and Waters.
