We are thrilled to announce that CoastalPro, in collaboration with EPLO/Institute for Sustainable Development (ISD), has successfully submitted the “Advancing Ocean and Water Literacy” action under the Mission Restore Our Ocean and Waters Charter—and it has been officially accepted! 🎉

What Does This Mean?

This recognition highlights the pivotal role our initiative plays in achieving the EU’s Mission Ocean and Waters objectives, including:

✅ Protecting and restoring marine and freshwater ecosystems 🐠🌿

✅ Preventing and eliminating pollution in our ocean, seas, and waters 🚯

✅ Advancing a carbon-neutral and circular sustainable blue economy 🌍⚓

About Our Action: Advancing Ocean and Water Literacy

The initiative aims to promote ocean and water literacy by raising awareness, building capacity, and fostering collaboration among educators, policymakers, coastal communities, and tourism professionals. Our expected impactincludes:

📢 Greater public understanding of the importance of aquatic ecosystems

📚 Empowered stakeholders who can integrate ocean literacy into decision-making

⚖️ Stronger policy influence at local, national, and EU levels

🌱 Resilient communities that adopt sustainable practices

Led by EPLO/ISD with contributions from Verimpact Academy and CoastalPro, this initiative will actively support EU policies and contribute to SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).

What’s Next?

Our action will soon be showcased on the Mission Charter Actions website and featured in EU Mission Ocean and Waters materials. We look forward to participating in upcoming Mission events and fora to further drive awareness and collaboration.
