Strong panel today at the #AtlanticWestMED Conference reviewing the Atlantic Maritime Strategy Action Plan.
High level representatives from Spain (Rosa Bernado Colina), France (Isabelle Perret), Ireland (Rory O'Leary) and Portugal (Lídia Bezerra) reflected on achievements and next‑phase priorities.
A timely debate as the EU advances the European Ocean Pact and the forthcoming Atlantic Maritime and Macroregional Strategy - framed by opening and closing statements from Christos Economou (DG MARE).
#BlueInvestment in focus at the #AtlanticWestMED Conference 2026.
Moderated by Matteo Bocci (Sea basins Assistance Mechanism), Elisa Ulazzi (WWF Mediterranean), Javier Fraga Díaz (ABANCA MAR/UIE) and Alessandro Silvestri (MALTAccelerate) outlined opportunities for investors backing early‑stage, high‑impact solutions.
Driving resilience and sustainable growth for coastal communities.
Mussels, oysters, clams and scallops are key to sustainable EU aquaculture, but the sector is challenged by climate change, water-quality, disease and market pressures.

The Western Mediterranean needs rules that work for both the sea and the people who depend on it.
Good exchange today in Strasbourg with French Producers Organisation @OPduSud and MEPs @EricSargiacomo and Claire Fita on the future of the WestMed MAP.
Our compass: strong science, healthier stocks, more selective fishing — and a framework that gives Mediterranean fishers a viable future.
Sustainability and economic resilience must go hand in hand.
Good exchange with @RenewEurope group in @Europarl_EN@EP_Fisheries. Europe’s fisheries are at a decisive moment. We need a comprehensive policy that protects our seas and gives fishers, coastal communities and the entire seafood value chain a strong future.
From the Baltic Sea and the future of the CFP to funding, the upcoming Ocean Act and our relations with key partners our direction is clear:
-Sustainable fisheries
-A competitive and resilient sector
-Healthy seas
Microplastics are hard to remove – but #MissionOcean & Waters Charter Action CAPTOPLASTIC has the solution to capture them before they reach our rivers and seas. 💡💧
