Community of Practice

IBlueLightS aims at strengthening the skills and competencies of European children and youth to deliver “blue” (river and seas) resilience and sustainability. We will do so by supporting exciting co-built blue challenge projects in schools; facilitating a conversation at different scales between the “blue” and education communities; and, experimenting adaptions in education systems that raise attention given to rivers and seas. It is a challenging project but inspiring and essential for the long-term success of the EU Mission ‘Restore our ocean and waters by 2030’.

PHAROS is an EU-funded project, led by the Canary Islands Ocean Platform (PLOCAN), and implemented by a consortium of 24 organizations from September 2024 to August 2029, which aims to provide nature-based solutions for restoring ecosystems and biodiversity while tackling climate change and human impacts in the Atlantic and Arctic maritime regions. These goals align with the European Union’s ambitious Ocean Mission objectives.

Funded by nearly 9.5 million euros in European funds, the PHAROS project aligns with the European Union’s Ocean Mission. This mission focuses on protecting and restoring marine ecosystems and biodiversity, eliminating pollution, and achieving a sustainable, carbon-neutral, and circular blue economy by 2030.

OTTERS views citizen science as an excellent tool for fostering citizen engagement and stewardship of the natural environment, including the marine and freshwater domains. To achieve its mission successfully, OTTERS aims to help citizen science in establishing standardise methods of collecting data in line with policy and scientific objectives and standards as well as overcome institutional and ethical challenges. The OTTERS Project will assess the effectiveness of citizen science for research and innovation and examine the impact of citizen science campaigns on citizen behaviour and their epistemic relation with marine and freshwater environments.

In support of the Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030’, the OTTERS project  has officially endorsed the Mission Charter.
