Our case study on the floating offshore wind in the #CelticSea recently had a workshop with stakeholders from UK & Ireland. Participants agreed the sector has potential to drive governance innovation and deliver environmental, social & economic benefits to the region. www.permagov.eu/marine-energy

Do you think marine governance arrangements are well suited to the green transition? To improve fit with EU Green Deal, actors need to build governance capabilities necessary to overcome institutional barriers and pursue collaborative outcomes. Our model explains how www.permagov.eu/post/multi-l...

Kateryna Urbanovych of the North Sea Advisory Council discovered her passion for the ocean while doing a bachelor's degree in natural sciences. As she studied everything from zoology to paleontology, one area stood out the most: marine conservation 🌊🐠🪸♻️ Interview >> www.permagov.eu/post/women-i...

As Secretary-General of the North Sea Advisory Council, Tamara is coordinating stakeholder activities to ensure that Council's recommendations balance environmental, social and economic objectives to support sustainable human-wildlife co-existence 🚢🐟🪸 www.permagov.eu/post/women-i...

Ports of Koper, Rijeka, Trieste, Venice and Ravenna are increasingly transitioning into multifaceted hubs for energy provision, storage and even production. This expanded role requires greater collaboration and policy alignment within the European Maritime Space. www.permagov.eu/post/north-a...

📣 New PERMAGOV paper presents a conceptual model for evaluating change and innovation in #marinegovernance brought about by the #EuropeanGreenDeal 🔎🌊🇪🇺🍃 The framework shows how marine governance needs to be rearranged to achieve EGD objectives 🎯💯 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Diagnosing institutional barriers in marine plastic governance 🩺🚧🌊 PERMAGOV diagnostic tool helps to identify institutional barriers and link them to specific design attributes that cause the problem but also offer avenues for improvement when properly addressed. www.permagov.eu/post/diagnos...

What's the best way to govern offshore wind in the context of the energy transition and the European Green Deal? That's the topic of our upcoming workshop. 📅 23-24 October 2025 📍 Hurup (DK) and online www.permagov.eu/post/worksho... #OffshoreWind #GreenTransition #RenewableEnergy

#MARE2025 finished last month, but the positive vibe is still resonating🎶 Together we are the driving force for better marine governance 💪🌊 Not just in words, also in action.. Learn about our contribution from presentation abstracts 😊 www.permagov.eu/post/transfo...

With MARE conference in full swing, we are excited to announce another panel by PERMAGOV, actually two panels, on the same day, almost back-to-back. This time we'll be exploring, in 10 presentations, transformation of marine governance under the European Green Deal. www.permagov.eu/post/transfo...

Going to the #MARE conference? Want to know about conflicts & trade-offs in #OceanGovernance, and how to solve them? Come to our joint session on Tue 24 Jun @ 17:30-19:00, where we will present the latest research on the topic carried out by 5️⃣ EU #marine projects. www.permagov.eu/post/conflic...

We are leaving Nice after having fabulous time at #OOSC2025. 💬Judith: Such interdisciplinary conversations must happen more often. 💬Ben: We should spend more time investigating effectiveness of governance solutions. 💬Pavel: Global marine challenges are surprisingly similar.

How can we address bycatch and improve compliance with the landing obligation? 🪝🦈 Thanks to onboard and in-trawl cameras, IoT sensors, AI and ML, we have a technical pathway to manage these issues better. Learn more about Fully Documented Fisheries in this poster🔎📄 www.permagov.eu/_files/ugd/7...

PERMAGOV at the One Ocean Science Congress 🌊 We are thrilled to be joining thousands of marine enthusiasts like you at this year's #OOSC in Nice, France. See you at the biggest and most consequential event of the year!

Imagine.. the ocean gave you the power to improve marine governance ✨🌊 Which institutional barriers would you try to improve? We developed a diagnostic tool for identifying barriers in shipping, offshore wind energy, and management of MPAs, seabed & marine litter. www.permagov.eu/_files/ugd/7...

Ocean affairs are influenced by complex governance arrangements. Actors, power distribution, rules, discourses have entrenched qualities that make change harder to achieve. We explore how these arrangements are adapting to new reality shaped by EU Green Deal. www.permagov.eu/_files/ugd/7...

In PERMAGOV we mapped 44 policies to help you navigate marine aspects of the European Green Deal like a pro 😎 🐋 Marine life: 7️⃣ policies 🥤 Marine plastic: 1️⃣0️⃣ policies ⚡ Marine energy: 6️⃣ policies 🛳 Maritime transport: 1️⃣4️⃣ policies 🔀 Cross-cutting priorities: 7️⃣ policies www.permagov.eu/_files/ugd/7...

📣 New paper featuring PERMAGOV results from the case study on Energy Islands Denmark. 'Easier said than done' is especially relevant for Energy Islands. Announced 5 years ago as a solution to fast-track EU's energy transition, EIs face uncertain future. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

To reduce emissions from shipping 🚢🍃 maritime transport was included in the EU Emissions Trading System, a carbon market with the cap-and-trade logic. PERMAGOV interviews conducted with industry reps identified several issues with the measure. 👀 presentation www.slideshare.net/slideshow/de...

European Maritime Space aims to make multi-modal corridors via land and sea more seamless, sustainable, and smarter. Our case study team is researching how EMS is being implemented regionally by a collective of five ports: Ravenna, Venice, Trieste, Koper, Rijeka. www.slideshare.net/slideshow/no...

We are excited to be there with 3 contributions: 🗣️ Presentation on Multi-Layered Collaborative Marine Governance Model 🌊 📰 Poster on seabed integrity in the Baltic Sea 🪸 📰 Poster on e-governance in fisheries 🐟 Stay tuned for details...

Floating wind turbines placed further away from the shore generate 20-50% more energy than nearshore fixed installations. But floating offshore wind (FLOW) is a relatively new industry with many technical barriers and governance challenges to overcome. Explore 🔎🚧 www.slideshare.net/slideshow/fl...

Energy Islands DK were presented as landmark projects for supercharging Europe's green transition. They would take energy from offshore wind farms and share it with neighboring countries. But EI in North Sea is postponed by 3 yrs, and in Baltic Sea indefinitely.. www.slideshare.net/slideshow/de...

Torre Guaceto #MPA has been in force since the early 2000s, covering ~2227 ha with different zones for conservation 🪸 recreation 🤿 and partial fishing 🎣 Fishermen are incentivised (💰🏅) to comply with sustainable practices but governance challenges remain. www.slideshare.net/slideshow/co...

Female ocean explorers, scientists, innovators, enthusiasts.. It's nothing short of remarkable to see how women are leading the way as ocean stewards, delivering groundbreaking results all around, in deep diving & research, in policy & community action🤩 www.permagov.eu/news/categor...

Dredging, trawling, construction, shipping, extraction.. many human activities cause physical disturbance to benthic habitats in the #BalticSea. By altering geological, physical, chemical conditions, these pressures negatively affect seabed's integrity. www.slideshare.net/slideshow/go...

Boasting 5* hotels & golf courses, the area near Mar Menor lagoon happens to be highly polluted, with 790 litter items reportedly found on the beach in 2024. Water quality is in bad state too as a result of nutrient runoff from agriculture + sewage. Presentation 👀 www.slideshare.net/slideshow/po...

Abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear (aka ghost gear) is a serious issue in the #BalticSea. But the lack of information on the true extent and locations of this litter type makes it challenging to make informed decisions re policy action. Presentation 👀 www.slideshare.net/slideshow/ab...
