Western Mediterranean: Actions for the sustainable development of the blue economy

The European Commission launched a new initiative for the sustainable development of the blue economy in the Western Mediterranean region. The region covers economic hubs like Barcelona, Marseille, Naples and Tunis. It also includes tourist destinations like the Balearic Islands, Sicily and Corsica. The sea's biodiversity is under severe pressure with a recent report by scientists from the Joint Research Centre indicating that 50% has been lost in the last 50 years.This initiative will allow EU and neighbouring countries to work together to increase maritime safety and security, promote sustainable blue growth and jobs, and preserve ecosystems and biodiversity. By fostering cooperation between the ten countries concerned, this initiative has three main goals:  safer and more secure maritime space; a smart and resilient blue economy; better governance of the sea.
