The CIMA Foresight Workshop focuses on identifying and evaluating marine Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in Europe. OECMs are a new conservation approach but a powerful tool to contribute to the objective of protecting 30% of the oceans by 2030, for the preservation of biodiversity. In Europe, there is a need to explore the potential for marine OECMs and their practical implications, and they are still relatively unknown in EU policy development and implementation so there is an urgent need to provide information about these tools. It aims to standardize methodologies, promote knowledge exchange, and establish a network for future project proposals.
