The MPA Community Network is an umbrella initiative developed to centralise and connect MPA-related projects across Europe, as well as fostering collaboration among MPA managers, stakeholders, and conservation experts. This initiative seeks to reduce fragmentation, improve coordination, and enhance networking for more effective marine conservation.

The project SEAGLOW (Sustainable Energy Applications for Green and Low-impact Operation of small-scale fishing boats in the Baltic and North Sea basins) aims to demonstrate the impact and potential of 5 different technological applications to reduce fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions on small-scale fishing boats in the North and Baltic Sea basins.The project focuses on the comparison of available technologies through the industrial partners of the project and works towards developing and improving the applied technologies through the data collection from the applied cases with the goal of decreasing the environmental impact of the vessels.
