Presentations online Blue Platform Workshop: Mapping perspectives of the Blue Bioeconomy in the Baltic States
The online workshop organised by the Latvian Institute of Aquatic Ecology featured input presentations from all three Baltic States and included engaging discussions on the current and future state of the blue bioeconomy in the Baltic Sea States and beyond. The workshop identified success factors as well as common gaps and barriers, and the participants brainstormed on possible solutions. A great deal of effort still should be put in communication, cooperation and coordination. A workshop report will be published soon, featuring ideas for a new projects and recommendations for policy decisions in upcoming programming periods.
