European Maritime Day In My Country events aim to raise awareness about the importance of the oceans and seas and to engage the public, particularly young people.
The objective is for people to realise that activities at sea (coastal tourism, fishing, sailing, shipping, offshore renewable energy, aquaculture etc.) are key for the EU’s citizens and economies. The EU has 68,000 km of coastline and about one third of the EU population lives within 50 km of the coast.
The European Maritime Day in My Country events are the public side of the European Maritime Day, the annual two-day event organised by the European Commission during which the Europe’s maritime community is invited to network, discuss and outline action on maritime affairs.
Our event "L'Océan s'invite au Luxembourg" is part of the movement.
