Both meetings were related to blue growth and the future of European Regional Seas, and were of relevance for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mava-blue-economy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MAVA <\/a>&#8220;A blue economy for a healthy Mediterranean&#8221; project, in which PAP\/RAC is a partner, and its objective to follow up on advocacy of the blue economy in international initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>A PAP\/RAC representative participated at the <a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/maritimeaffairs\/maritimeday\/en\/poole-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EMD2017<\/a>, which is the main annual event organised by DG Mare of the EU, and which brought together more than 600 participants. The main title of the event was the &#8220;Future of our Seas&#8221; with the blue economy having a crucial role. Several parallel stakeholder workshops took place and the main themes were Innovation and Growth; People and Skills; Sustainability and Governance; and Safety and Security.<\/p>\n<p>Back-to-back with the EMD, a Workshop has been organised in the framework of the MUSES project (Horizon 2020) that involves 10 partners from across Europe. The project aims at understanding multi-use benefits for environmental, socio-economic and spatial point of view and in that way promotes blue growth at the European seas level. PAP\/RAC was invited as a stakeholder from the Mediterranean region. This was a good opportunity to promote and advocate for the blue economy concept from the MAVA project and reflect on the approaches taken at other Regional Seas level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6906,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-4889","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/4889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
