Beyond COVID-19 – Build back a better blue – NGO letter to the European Commission

In the current context of Covid-19 economic crisis, Seas At Risk together with other marine NGOs wrote a letter to the European Commission Vice President Timmermans and Commissioner Sinkevičius. NGOs ask to the two politicians to ensure that Europe’s public stimulus investments to maritime sectors (and all economic sectors which have impacts on the ocean) are conditional on protecting and restoring the ocean’s health. In the letter, NGOs recall the Blue Manifesto as a blue answer to the European Green Deal.
