Productive meeting with 🇺🇸 @US2EU @USAmbEU Andrew Puzder on shared ocean priorities. The EU’s #CATCH system is a key tool in the fight against illegal fishing, ensuring transparency and fairness in global seafood trade. We’ve worked closely with the US to smooth the transition, and we’re confident in finding solutions that work for everyone. The ocean’s health depends on the continuity of strong partnerships like this. 🤝

10 years ago, the Market Advisory Council and Aquaculture Advisory Council were created to bring stakeholders together. Today, they stand as pillars of EU fisheries and aquaculture policy. 🐟 From shaping the #CFP to advancing sustainability, the Advisory Councils have shown that diverse voices can find common ground resilient and forward-looking fisheries and aquaculture sector. 🤝 Our strong and constructive cooperation is a key asset and will be essential as we look ahead to shaping a future that is sustainable, innovative, and fair.

The ocean holds the key to our future: climate, food, energy, and security. But we can’t protect what we don’t understand. 🌊 That’s why #OceanEye is our window on the ocean. This initiative will unite Europe’s ocean observation systems, launch an International Alliance to strengthen global data via @IocUnesco’s Global Ocean Observing System, and build a fully operational Digital Twin Ocean by 2030. At #DigitalOceanWeek @MercatorOcean, I called on EU Member States, third countries, philanthropies, and partners to join us. Because the ocean connects us all, and protecting it demands global action. 🌍

🌊 Geography can affect the way businesses compete. The 🇪🇺 Strategy for Islands and Coastal Communities comes at the right moment. Its success depends on investment, a sustainable blue economy & a business‑friendly implementation. Learn more w/ member @ManthosCy 👇

Our coasts and islands are Europe’s economic powerhouses, cultural treasures, and the frontline of climate change. Today, alongside @RaffaeleFitto, we adopted the EU Strategies on Coastal Communities and Islands. 🔹 Coastal Communities: Securing prosperity, resilience, and liveability for the millions who call our coasts home. 🔹 Islands: Empowering our islands with tailored solutions for energy autonomy, connectivity, and sustainable tourism. From pescatourism to blue carbon credits, from climate-proof infrastructure to digital innovation, these strategies ensure our coastal and island communities thrive. @EU_MARE ec.europa.eu/commission/pres…

Europe’s 70,000 km of coastline are home to 95 million people and generate €265 billion annually. Their future depends on how we act now. The adoption of the EU Strategy on Coastal Communities is built on 13 flagship actions and three pillars: prosperity, resilience, and liveability. From blue economy diversification to climate adaptation and affordable housing, this strategy is about tailored, place-based solutions, because no two coastal communities are the same. Coastal communities are the lifeblood of Europe’s blue economy. This strategy isn’t just about protecting them—it’s about empowering them. 🌊 @EU_MARE ec.europa.eu/commission/pres…

The Commission has adopted the first-ever EU strategies dedicated to coastal communities and islands. They aim to support stronger economies, climate adaptation, improved connectivity and quality of life for those on islands and along Europe’s coasts. link.europa.eu/v7yFKP

My visit to Normandy ends with a good discussion with the fishing community in Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, a leader in innovation. 🎣🇫🇷 We want to see modernised fishing boats in our ports, young people joining the profession, and a vibrant sector , resilient to external shocks, be it consequence of climate change or geopolitical dynamics. With high fuel costs and the challenges of Brexit, the sector is navigating rough waters. But the EU is here to help. #EMFAF funds are supporting innovation and helping young fishers start their careers, and #Vision2040 will focus on energy transition, generational renewal, and fair competition. Grateful to @CathChabaud and @s_yoncourtin for having introduced me to Normandy’s realities and for the hospitality of the local community.
