The European Commission has published a new Portfolio Analysis which has identified over 800 EU-funded projects contributing to the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters”.
The projects analysed belong to 16 EU funding programmes, most from Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020, but also from Interreg, LIFE2027, EMFAF, Erasmus+2027 and other European programmes.
The Report highlights innovative solutions as well as gaps and synergies that could require further support at the EU level.
The report alongside an accompanying dashboard has been made available online here.
The dashboard allows users to “interact” with data and access more detailed information as needed.

Background
With a 2030 target, the EU Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters" aims to protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters going beyond research and innovation and involving the digital ocean and water knowledge system and broad public mobilisation and engagement. The Mission’s new approach will address the ocean and waters as one, from rivers to the seas and ocean and will protect and restore marine and freshwater biodiversity and ecosystems, eliminate pollution, and make the blue economy carbon-neutral and circular
The Mission supports the “lighthouses” in major sea and river basins: Atlantic-Arctic, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic-North Sea, and Danube-Black Sea. The lighthouses are sites to pilot, demonstrate, develop and deploy the Mission activities across EU seas and river basins.
