The EMFAF Blue Careers Policy Paper (April 2026) marks the transition from fragmented pilot actions to coordinated policy input for the blue economy.
Developed as a direct outcome of the European Ocean Days 2026 workshop, the paper consolidates evidence from seven EU-funded projects working across skills, training and career pathways in the blue economy.
CoastalPro contributed its findings on gamified learning, on-the-job training and community building, arguing for recognition of short, modular and practice-based training as a legitimate route into blue careers.
