20 May - European Maritime Day (European Council)

 


European Maritime Day, observed annually on May 20th, is an initiative of the European Council aimed at raising awareness about the importance of maritime affairs and promoting sustainable maritime development across Europe. This special day serves as a platform for policymakers, stakeholders, industry representatives, and the public to come together to discuss key maritime issues, share best practices, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

European Maritime Day highlights the crucial role of oceans and seas in Europe's economy, environment, and society. It provides a forum for discussing maritime policy initiatives, maritime innovation, blue economy strategies, maritime spatial planning, marine research, and environmental conservation efforts.

On European Maritime Day, various events, conferences, workshops, and activities are organized across Europe to engage stakeholders and raise awareness about maritime issues. These events often focus on topics such as maritime safety and security, sustainable fisheries, marine pollution prevention, coastal tourism, maritime transport, and climate change adaptation.

By promoting dialogue, cooperation, and knowledge-sharing among stakeholders, European Maritime Day contributes to the development of integrated and sustainable maritime policies and practices that support economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being in Europe and beyond.
