Your ocean action could be recognised across Europe. 🌊

🔹 Ocean education and learning
🔹 Innovative ways to engage citizens and communities
Organisations, youth initiatives and schools across the EU can apply. Winners will be announced during European Maritime Day 2026 in Limassol, Cyprus, and will receive official recognition and a financial reward.
