BLUE4ALL will develop science-based tools for achieving Marine Protected Areas that meet conservation and restoration objectives, while addressing the needs and concerns of all stakeholders
We will work with stakeholders from 25 Living Labs and Information Sites in the Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea and North East Atlantic regions to develop tools for preserving and restoring the marine environment in a socially sustainable and acceptable way.
