Today is the 3rd European Maritime Day, co-organised by the European Commission, the Spanish Presidency of the European Union and the Principality of Asturias.  European Maritime Day is the annual occasion in which Senior European politicians focus on the maritime world.

The agenda includes political sessions and more than 50 workshops focussing on sustainable economic growth, employment and innovation, cross-cutting policy tools, sustainability and the governance of sea basins.

The Surf Rider Europe Foundation* will participate in the debates and will ask major European institutions to reaffirm at a European level their intention to defend the natural heritage of our environment and the values of ocean users.

They regularly launch campaigns to raise awareness of Ocean pollution and the need for sea life protection which are always supported by brilliant creative posters and ads, as preview below.
