Common Marine Policy

The Common Marine Policy is an approach adopted by the European Union to ensure sustainable management of marine resources and protect marine environments. It aims to balance economic activities like fishing and tourism with the need to preserve ecosystems. This policy establishes guidelines for sharing responsibilities among member states, promoting cooperation in marine research, and addressing issues like overfishing and pollution. By creating a unified strategy, the policy seeks to enhance the health of oceans and seas, benefiting both the environment and coastal communities that rely on marine resources for their livelihoods.
