The event will commence with a short introductory session about the alignment with the UN Ocean Conference 2025 objectives and introducing the MPA Community Network with its participating EU-funded projects.

The fun game will focus on designing Marine Protected Area corridors to balance ecological connectivity, socio-economic benefits, and industry needs. Using the mockup of tools that are being developed in different EU projects including BioProtect, Blue Connect, Blue4All, MSP4BIO, PHAROS, Protect Baltic and Marine Plan, you will work with maps, data layers, and connectivity metrics to collaboratively design MPA corridors.

The session will aim to explore trade-offs, EU Mission Ocean objectives, and decision-making challenges, generating actionable insights for MPA planning.
