Blue4all Final Event - From science to practice: co-creating effective MPAs to meet the EU marine protection targets

The Blue4all final event will take place in Bruges, Belgium, on 16 November 2026, from 13:30 to 17:30 CET.

The event is organised together with the EU Blue Parks Community as its 7th Community Workshop, under the title From science to practice: co-creating effective MPAs to meet the EU marine protection targets.

The workshop will focus on the practical application of project results, tools, and lessons for Marine Protected Area (MPA) managers. It will include presentations of outcomes from Blue4all, the MPA Solutions Hub, and related tools and methods from other EU-funded projects and Mission Actions.

The event will be held back-to-back with the 7th World Conference on Marine Biodiversity.

Registration will open later in summer 2026.
