Making EU ocean governance more integrated, collaborative, and better optimised for the Green Deal implementation | Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 https://www.permagov.eu/ #ocean #marine #sea #water
How do we advance Green Deal goals in the #maritime supply chain? 🚢 That was the question we explored with stakeholders from EU ports, shippers, ship owners, academia & NGOs at a recent workshop.
Results point to a clear set of actions for future work>>

Our case study on the floating offshore wind in the #CelticSea recently had a workshop with stakeholders from UK & Ireland.
Participants agreed the sector has potential to drive governance innovation and deliver environmental, social & economic benefits to the region.

We are leaving Nice after having fabulous time at #OOSC2025.
💬Judith: Such interdisciplinary conversations must happen more often.
💬Ben: We should spend more time investigating effectiveness of governance solutions.
💬Pavel: Global marine challenges are surprisingly similar.
How can we address bycatch and improve compliance with the landing obligation? 🪝🦈
Thanks to onboard and in-trawl cameras, IoT sensors, AI and ML, we have a technical pathway to manage these issues better.

PERMAGOV at the One Ocean Science Congress 🌊
We are thrilled to be joining thousands of marine enthusiasts like you at this year's #OOSC in Nice, France.
See you at the biggest and most consequential event of the year!
Imagine.. the ocean gave you the power to improve marine governance ✨🌊 Which institutional barriers would you try to improve? We developed a diagnostic tool for identifying barriers in shipping, offshore wind energy, and management of MPAs, seabed & marine litter.

Ocean affairs are influenced by complex governance arrangements. Actors, power distribution, rules, discourses have entrenched qualities that make change harder to achieve. We explore how these arrangements are adapting to new reality shaped by EU Green Deal.

Decarbonising shipping in the EU with Emissions Trading System
To reduce emissions from shipping 🚢🍃 maritime transport was included in the EU Emissions Trading System, a carbon market with the cap-and-trade logic.
PERMAGOV interviews conducted with industry reps identified several issues with the measure.

Floating offshore wind turbine in the Celtic Sea
Floating wind turbines placed further away from the shore generate 20-50% more energy than nearshore fixed installations. But floating offshore wind (FLOW) is a relatively new industry with many technical barriers and governance challenges to overcome.
