The Ocean Cleanup welcomes the European Commission's initiative to develop a European Ocean Research and Innovation Strategy. We recognise the importance of a coordinated, science-based and innovation-driven approach to addressing the growing pressures facing the ocean, while strengthening Europe's global leadership in ocean research, innovation and sustainable ocean governance.
