The European Ocean Act should function as a legally binding framework that consolidates fragmented marine governance across sectors, comparable to the role of the European Climate Act. Responsibilities for fisheries, maritime transport, infrastructure, energy, pollution, and environmental protection are currently dispersed across multiple legal instruments, weakening coherence, implementation, and enforcement.

Their record over time
Tænketanken Hav/Ocean Institute filed 2 positions between 9 Feb 2026 and 9 Mar 2026, across 2 of the 326 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 1 time.
What they argued
- MSFD is an ambitious instrument. However, its legal provisions, implementation, and enforcement do not sufficiently match its objective of achieving Good Environmental Status (GES) through an ecosystem-based approach. The Directive should therefore be strengthened. In particular, the legal possibilities to implement and enforce measures under the Directive should be enhanced.
