Join us for the final event of the MEER:STARK Project – a two-day workshop dedicated to advancing the nexus between marine protection and climate adaptation on 3 and 4 November 2025. The event targets experts and decision-makers working at the interface of marine conservation, coastal planning, and climate policy to share insights, reflect on key findings, and co-develop actionable recommendations. The working language will be English. 

Day 1, will be an informative, hybrid-format session structured around the project's outcomes and recommendations. It will present key findings across work packages with a special focus on three in-depth topics: eutrophication, ecosystem-based coastal protection, and climate-ready Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) – themes previously explored in the MEER:STARK cross-sectoral workshop series, illustrating practical dimensions of the nexus. The final project report, which includes targeted recommendations for advancing the nexus in each area, will be introduced alongside brief impulse inputs from related initiatives or projects.

Day 2 will be a collaborative, solely in-person working session, where participants refine the recommendations and explore their practical implementation. The goal is to develop three concise fact sheets outlining actionable steps for each topic. The in-person format ensures a focused and interactive exchange, hands-on dialogue and exchange across disciplines and regions.

Further details and registration information will follow soon. If you are interested in contributing with a short input or showcasing a related initiative, feel free to get in touch by 30 June 2025.
