The Regional Government of Madeira announced that the first high-level meeting of the Madeira Ocean Program represented a decisive step towards implementing the regional strategy for marine protection. This initiative is based on science, cooperation, and innovation.
With the approval of the governance model and the definition of next actions, the program aims to support the effective protection of 30% of the Region's sea by 2030. The goal is to enhance scientific knowledge, the valuation of marine ecosystems, and the sustainability of the blue economy.
This partnership between the Regional Government, the Blue Ocean Foundation, ARDITI, and National Geographic Pristine Seas seeks to consolidate Madeira's leadership in ocean conservation and reaffirm its commitment to protecting its natural heritage.
