Factsheet: The value of social engagement in Mission Ocean and Waters
Mission Ocean & Waters aims to restore European marine and freshwater ecosystems by 2030, aligning with EU targets for biodiversity, pollution reduction, and decarbonization. The mission encompasses three main objectives: ecosystem restoration, pollution elimination, and sustainable, carbon-neutral economic practices. Public involvement is central, facilitated through community initiatives, citizen science, and the Mission Charter, promoting broad cooperation. Projects like NETTAG+ exemplify successful social engagement through participatory workshops where fishers share knowledge, enhancing effectiveness. These strategies underscore the importance of grassroots participation in driving impactful solutions and fostering collective responsibility for marine and freshwater restoration.
