Between 30 September – 2 October 2024 all project partners met in Berlin, Germany to kick-off the start of the BLUE CONNECT project
SUBMARINER and its partners launched the BLUE CONNECT project on 30 September 2024 in Berlin. This ambitious project addresses the urgent need to protect and restore marine habitats and ecosystems and to overcome gaps in the effective implementation of EU and global legislation by mobilizing the MPA managers, authorities, industries and local communities to co-develop and demonstrate a systematic approach to marine conservation planning and management. CCMS is partner in the BLUE CONNECT and leads the Work package 4 – Showcasing effective co-ownership and co-management: engaging stakeholders and citizens.
At the meeting, Dr. Margarita Stancheva as CCMS, lead of the WP4 presented the main objectives and tasks, as well as the main aims, key challenges and expected impacts from the WP4.
