SUMMARY:Cleaner Seas Begin on Land Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming Webinar: Cleaner Seas Begin on Land \n26 March 2026 | 12:00 CET | Online \nThe PHAROS Citizen Litter Entrepreneur Programme\, in partnership with Impact Hub Athens\, announces the fourth instalment of the “Meet the Oceanpreneur” webinar series. This session shifts focus from ocean cleanup to land-based prevention\, exploring how upstream solutions can stop marine litter before it reaches our seas. \nEvent Details\nTitle: Cleaner Seas Begin on Land: Prevention\, Zero Waste & Community Action\nDate: Thursday\, 26 March 2026\nTime: 12:00 – 12:50 CET (50 minutes)\nFormat: Online via Zoom\nHost: Impact Hub Athens \nRegister on Zoom\nWhy Prevention Matters\nMarine plastic pollution doesn’t start in the ocean. It begins on land\, in our communities\, businesses\, and consumption patterns. This webinar tackles the problem at its source by showcasing innovative approaches that prevent waste from entering marine ecosystems in the first place. \nParticipants will discover how zero-waste business models\, circular product design\, community-led collection schemes\, and policy-driven prevention strategies are creating real impact across coastal regions. The session highlights practical solutions that combine environmental protection with inclusive economic opportunities for local communities. \nWhat to Expect\nThe 50-minute session follows an interactive format designed to maximise learning and exchange: \n\nTwo speaker spotlights (≈10 minutes each) featuring practitioners and innovators sharing real-world prevention initiatives\nModerated dialogue (≈20 minutes) exploring challenges\, successes\, and scalable approaches\nAudience Q&A (≈10 minutes) for direct engagement with speakers and participants\n\nThe discussion will examine how sustainable consumption\, responsible production\, and local engagement can significantly reduce waste flows before they reach rivers and seas\, whilst creating resilient circular economies at the local level. \nSession Objectives\nThis webinar aims to: \nShift the focus from cleanup at sea to prevention on land through sustainable consumption and responsible production. \nExplore practical strategies including zero-waste approaches\, circular product design\, and local collection schemes that reduce\, redesign\, and eliminate plastic waste flows. \nHighlight the role of communities\, municipalities\, and entrepreneurs in driving prevention-first approaches to marine litter. \nEncourage cross-sector collaboration between citizens\, businesses\, public authorities\, and researchers to build strong zero-waste ecosystems. \nInspire replication of scalable\, upstream solutions aligned with Mission Ocean goals for cleaner\, plastic-free coasts. \nMore information: https://pharosproject.eu/webinars/upcoming-webinar-cleaner-seas-begin-on-land-prevention-zero-waste-community-action/

SUMMARY:Marine Data for Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP)
DESCRIPTION:Mercator Ocean International\, implementer of the Copernicus Marine Service\, is organising a workshop entitled “Marine Data for Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP)” on 31 March as a full-day event at Hotel Amigo in Brussels\, Belgium. \nThe workshop will demonstrate how the Copernicus Marine Service supports Maritime Spatial Planning by providing free\, reliable\, and science-based ocean data. \nIt will highlight the use of key indicators such as multi-decadal trends in sea water temperature\, sea level rise\, ocean acidification\, marine heatwave monitoring\, and biogeochemical changes to support evidence-based decision-making. \nFramed within the European Maritime Spatial Planning Directive (MSPD)\, the workshop will address the growing challenges of managing increasingly busy marine spaces\, including shipping\, fisheries\, renewable energy\, and marine conservation\, particularly in the context of climate change. \nThe morning session will focus on policymakers and national authorities responsible for MSP\, while the afternoon session will target technical users and practitioners interested in the operational use of Copernicus Marine data. \nIn person attendance is by inviation only. This event will be live-streamed online as well (register here)
