We support the Ocean Act objectives for improving coherence, coordination and effectiveness of EU ocean governance. However, we emphasize that the Act must deliver truly ecosystem-based management and that reaching Good Environmental Status (GES), as defined in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), should be established as a cornerstone of the Act.
We are looking for a Project Coordinator to join our team at the CCB International Secretariat.
Gdańsk Common Message
Uppsala, 22 June 2026 - Coalition Clean Baltic (CCB) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the European Commission’s Call for Evidence for the Impact Assessment accompanying the Fisheries Management Rules Revision – Omnibus initiative. The Baltic Sea provides a particularly relevant case study for this impact assessment. It is one of Europe’s most environmentally degraded sea basins1, with several commercially exploited fish populations having experienced severe declines or collapse despite the existence of a comprehensive legal framework under the CFP and the Baltic Sea MAP. The region strongly illustrates the urgent need for implementing ecosystem-based fisheries management. Fish populations are part of a wider food web and are affected by multiple pressures. In such a degraded ecosystem, precautionary management and early intervention by way of remedial measures remain essential to support fish population recovery.
