In the spotlight

Challenges for Europe’s seas​

More efforts are needed to achieve the sustainable use of Europe’s marine resources and ensure their availability for future generations.

EU countries have reduced some pressures in the last decades, but marine ecosystems are still impacted by multiple pressures from human activities at sea and on land.

The resilience of marine ecosystems against climate change makes a big contribution to that of the planet.
