Great choice of picture to get into that summer mood.

Working under the #MissionOcean and Waters to support businesses and other blue champions with the scaling up and deployment of solutions to restore the ocean.

A group of colourful fish swimming together in the clear blue ocean water.

We must sustain the ocean that sustains us.

Climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and geopolitical tensions continue to pose a threat to our ocean, and we need to step up efforts to protect it.

A unified approach is essential for success.

We can no longer turn our backs on the oceans. They are, above all, a common good of our humanity.

Others have set as a priority to go to the Moon or to Mars. Europe, on the other hand, must consider oceans as a cause and a mission for 2050.

Seeing is believing: we need the #MissionOcean to show how restoration of ecosystem looks like at scale, show the Blue Parks, show how a fully functioning Digital Twin of the Ocean operates. We need to visualise the destination, as hope is the biggest human driving force.
