EuroMarine is established as a Consortium of European organisations for a 10-year renewable term. A Legal Entity supports the Consortium for daily management. The General Assembly (GA) is the main decision-making body, gathering representatives from all member organisations. The GA nominates a Steering Committee (SC) that takes decisions on some operational matters, e.g. internal call for proposals and representation in events. Anyone from the marine scientific community is welcome to provide input to the SC and GA for the construction of EuroMarine strategic programme.

The Directorate-General for Environment is the European Commission department responsible for EU policy on the environment. It aims to protect, preserve and improve the environment for present and future generations, proposing and implementing policies that ensure a high level of environmental protection and preserve the quality of life of EU citizens. It also makes sure that Member States apply EU environmental law correctly and represents the European Union in environmental matters at international meetings.
