The ocean has always provided us with plentiful resources, and many populations around the world depend on it for food and livelihood. While these resources are under an increasing amount of stress, it seems also possible to solve present and future social challenges such as food security and job opportunities by using marine resources sustainably.
Do you have a project in mind to raise awareness of consumers on sustainable seafood or an innovative business plan to use marine resources sustainably? Or something completely different that you think has the potential to change things? We welcome applications from anyone involved or interested in the sustainable use of marine resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of marine ecosystems.

The European Commission (EC) want to know how together we can turn the economy blue.

The deadline for submission is January 15, 2021.

The EC welcome applications from anyone involved or interested in the sustainable use of marine resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of marine ecosystems. Most desirable applicants should be involved in marine education and/or fishing and aquaculture.

If your project is successful, you will be accredited as Young Ocean Advocate and you will enjoy a new range of benefits and support for your project.
