The second Annual Forum of the Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters” will take place on 5 March 2024 in Brussels. The forum will look back at the Mission’s progress and major achievements in mobilising the community towards the goal of protecting our waters. The forum will also prepare the ground for the next phase of the mission, moving from demonstration to deployment.
The Annual Forum is taking place as part of the ‘European Ocean Days’, a weeklong series of events related to European maritime topics. On 4 March, a matchmaking session for Charter action partners will be held. The event will be an opportunity to network with EU Mission projects, philanthropists and Charter signatories.

The Annual Forum marks an opportunity to showcase innovative solutions developed under the EU Mission. Participants will also have a chance to discuss how key stakeholders, (such as the regions, local authorities and the private sector) can get involved in implementing the Mission’s objectives. Participants will also examine how different streams of finance are being mobilised to support the deployment of solutions, aimed at meeting a variety of objectives, including:
- Protecting and restoring marine and freshwater ecosystem and biodiversity
- Boosting coastal resilience
- Eliminating pollution
- Making the blue economy climate-neutral and circular
