Maritime Forum

Blue Awareness

Short description of the action

The following actions will contribute to the Mission's objectives:

- The Forum Mondial de la Mer Bizerte and " “The Bizerte Declaration”:
In 2022, during the 5th edition of the Forum, we created OCEAN 2050, the first forward-looking think-tank on maritime issues. “The Bizerte Declaration” drafted on this occasion by a group of the most renowned international experts launched the work of a roadmap that will be an important element of the United Nations Ocean Conference ( Nice, June 2025). It refers to the Mission ocean & Waters.
It is therefore the entire international community that will be able, thanks to the production of these works and indicators, to benefit from this reflection born in the south of the Mediterranean and widely educated by the best Tunisian scientists and economists. T

Using the image of the starfish, based on the five main themes set out by the European Union under “Mission Starfish 2030: Restore our Ocean and Waters”, the work of OCEAN 2050 will be organized around these five branches that will contribute to the Mission :
Governance, Peace, Justice and Security
Science, Innovation and Shared knowledge
Protection, Regeneration and Adaptation
Fighting against all forms of Pollution
Sustainable Blue Economy and Finance
