In Ukraine, as in many European countries, great attention is paid to the preservation and sustainable development of marine resources and the natural environment. These issues become especially important in the context of European cooperation, namely during the celebration of the European Maritime Day (EMD). This is an event that is gaining more and more popularity and importance in our country, attracting the attention of specialists, activists and the public to the issues of marine resources and sustainable development in the maritime space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to the joint efforts of the Business Support Center team and Team Europe Mykolaiv in 2018, Ukraine officially joined the European maritime community and began to celebrate the European Maritime Day in the country. Since 2020, the PU \u00abUkrainian Maritime Cluster\u00bb has joined the organization of events dedicated to EMD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EMD organizes conferences and seminars where experts, scientists and public representatives discuss current topics related to marine economy, fisheries, environmental protection and sustainable development. Campaigns and public events held as part of the European Maritime Day are aimed at drawing attention to the problems of marine pollution and the impact of human activity on the marine environment. For example, in Mykolaiv, for several years in a row, the exhibition \u00abEuropean Maritime Day in Mykolaiv\u00bb was held in the shopping center \u00abCity-Center\u00bb and was organized by Team Europe Mykolaiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2022, in connection with the martial law caused by the full-scale attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine, most of the activities related to the maritime industry will take place remotely or in a mixed format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
