This Policy Brief presents the main policy-relevant outcomes from the RHE-MEDiation project and provides recommendations to help modernise wastewater treatment and enable uptake of the approach tested during the project. It also highlights the untapped potential of microalgae-based photobioreactors as an innovative and nature-based solution to support the implementation of the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD), particularly for rural and remote municipalities across Europe. This document was developed by the European Marine Board Secretariat, in collaboration with partners from RHE-MEDiation project.

The Joint SURIMI - Advisory Councils (ACs) workshop was an additional workshop held after the first SURIMI stakeholder co-design workshop, aimed to increase the awareness and involvement of European fishers for whom English was a barrier to participate in the first workshop. This report provides a summary of the workshop and main findings.

This Policy Brief summarises the key policy-relevant results and tools developed by the BRIDGE Black Sea (BRIDGE-BS) project, and makes recommendations for future research and policy needs for the future for the development of a sustainable blue economy within ecosystem boundaries. The tools developed aim to predict the long-term impact and emerging risks from multiple stressors to identify a safe operating space within which a sustainable blue economy can flourish. This document was developed and published by the European Marine Board Secretariat, in collaboration with researchers from the BRIDGE-BS project.

Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) methods are being proposed and piloted in Europe. Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) is a structured process to collect, disclose and independently verify data on mCDR activities. The EMB Future Science Brief No. 13 ‘Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal' aims to identify knowledge gaps, challenges and uncertainties in developing transparent and standardised MRV systems for mCDR methods and provides recommendations on how to overcome them. It addresses the need for science-based guidance for developing robust, transparent and scientifically underpinned MRV frameworks for mCDR going forward.
