OceanCare welcomes the European Commission's initiative to develop the European Ocean Act as a cornerstone of the European Ocean Pact. The establishment of a coherent and comprehensive governance framework for ocean-related policies represents a timely and necessary step to address the escalating pressures on marine ecosystems and to improve the effectiveness, consistency, and accountability of EU ocean governance.
