On 21 May 2026, the joint EU Sea Basin Strategies Assistance Mechanism will organise a highly informative workshop at EMD 2026, as part of the European Maritime Day 2026 in Limassol Cyprus.

Description
The European Ocean Pact highlighted the need to support maritime regional cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean, as part of ongoing sea basin cooperation across the EU.

This workshop aims at fostering discussions on the challenges and opportunities in the potential set-up of a Sea basin Strategy in the Eastern Mediterranean, following similar successful examples in the Atlantic, Western Mediterranean, Black Sea and, more recently, the North Sea (GNSBI).

Understanding the current challenges and potentials to be possibly addressed by regional cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean region and the possible role of sea basin cooperation will be at the centre of the discussions.

More information to follow soon.
