The European Maritime Day in My Country events are local, decentralized extensions of the European Maritime Day (EMD)—the European Commission’s flagship annual event that brings together stakeholders from across Europe’s maritime sector to network, discuss, and shape actions on maritime affairs. The 2025 edition of EMD will take place in Cork, Ireland, from May 21 to 23.
EMD in My Country events are community-driven initiatives organized by local actors across the EU and neighboring countries. They aim to:
Raise awareness about the ocean’s importance and its impact on our lives and well-being.
Promote a deeper understanding of the Blue Economy, including its social and economic dimensions.
Highlight the central role of seas and oceans in sustaining coastal communities and economies across the EU.
These events actively engage the public—especially younger generations—through interactive projects that showcase the significance of the ocean and maritime industries in daily life.
