An integrated maritime policy

In Europe, the sea is never far away: the coast is almost 70,000 km long, which equals one and a half times the circumference of the earth. Half the population of the European Union lives less than 50 km from the coast. Many sectors of the economy are active in these coastal zones: port operations, transport, fisheries, industry, energy and tourism. As a result, many policies have a maritime dimension, but most of them are still managed sector by sector.
In Europe, many sectors of the economy are active in our coastal zones.

Port operations, transport, fisheries, industry, energy and tourism.
00:00:06
As a result, many policies have a maritime dimension, but most of them are still managed sector by sector.
00:00:12
On the one hand, we are thinking about transport and therefore about ports,
00:00:18
and on the other about the environment and therefore about tourism and nature reserves.
00:00:22
These two sectors do not really see eye to eye.
00:00:27
Along our coasts, competition for space between sectors is growing.
00:00:30
So we need a coherent vision of the sea.
00:00:34
The European Commission has proposed a new integrated approach.
00:00:37
It's already received the support of the 155 maritime regions,
00:00:40
which are part of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions.
00:00:44
This approach takes all interactions into account and strengthens collaborations between sectors.
00:00:48
And this can be done exceptionally by means of legislation.
00:00:53
Hopefully, in most of the cases, by means of the voluntary approach,
00:00:57
incentivising, creating the necessary means and the instruments,
00:01:01
so that we will add value to the way we do things on the economic front,
00:01:05
so that we maximise the potential that there is with regard to maritime affairs,
00:01:10
but not doing so at the expense of the environmental dimension,
00:01:14
which would be a fundamental pillar of a future maritime policy,
00:01:18
and also seeing to it that the social aspects, the benefits that coastal communities can derive,
00:01:22
the benefits that workers on board vessels and fishing vessels in particular can derive,
00:01:29
are maximised to the fullest extent possible.
00:01:35
The aim of the policy proposed by the European Commission
00:01:39
is to benefit from the wealth offered by the sea in a sustainable manner.
00:01:42
Let's look at a few examples of how this integrated policy is absolutely essential.
00:01:46
The viability and sustainability of the transport and aquaculture sectors, for instance,
00:01:50
depend on a number of converging factors.
00:01:55
You cannot have a sustainable and a robust and a dynamic sector,
00:01:58
like tourism or shipping or fisheries, if you're not sustainable.
00:02:03
Tourists don't want to go and swim on a dirty beach.
00:02:07
They don't want to go diving where there are no fish.
00:02:10
And you don't want to be operating ships in ports and harbours that are dirty and that are contaminated.
00:02:12
The impacts of human activities on coastal zones and marine ecosystems
00:02:18
must be understood in a global manner, as must the role of oceans in regulating the climate.
00:02:23
With a clear integrated maritime policy,
00:02:30
the science community will have key focal areas to try and make a difference in.
00:02:33
Also, the scientific community have called for an integrated ocean observatory network
00:02:38
to gather the information and also an integrated database mechanism
00:02:43
to assimilate and use that information and ultimately turn it into useful knowledge and useful products.
00:02:47
The maritime sectors also need adequate training in order to guarantee high quality jobs and real career prospects.
00:02:53
This means facilitating worker mobility within the maritime sector so as to develop untapped potential.
00:02:59
The Commission, in cooperation with stakeholders,
00:03:05
will promote the creation of certificates of excellence for seafarers.
00:03:07
And it's also proposing some 30 other actions,
00:03:11
ranging from measures to bolster the fight against illegal fishing to reducing air pollution in ports
00:03:14
and ensuring greater harmonisation of maritime monitoring and supervision tools.
00:03:20
An integrated maritime policy is thus gradually becoming a reality.
