#EMD2016

WELCOME TO TURKU !

Turku is very proud to host this year’s most significant maritime conference in Europe and welcomes you to our city, a hub for Finnish maritime know-how. The European Maritime Day 2016 Conference in Logomo includes over 20 stakeholder workshops, high-level debates and thematic sessions, matchmaking meetings, a networking village with more than 30 exhibitors, and site visits. I would like to extend my thanks and ap- preciation to Commissioner Vella and the Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries for their collaboration in organising this conference. The celebration of the European Maritime Day will continue over the weekend of 20-22 May with a number of maritime and cultural events open to the public. A maritime benefit concert starts the weekend off when leading Finnish opera stars perform in front of the Suomen Joutsen frigate. In addition, former Finnish president Tarja Halonen will speak at the Baltic Sea Region Forum, which explores maritime themes from a regional perspective. We sincerely hope that the discussions in Turku will lead to smart and sustainable solutions on blue growth. We must ensure that practical work for shared goals will continue. Enjoy your stay and all that my home city can offer!

Aleksi Randell Mayor, City of Turku PROGRAMME 3

I wish to welcome you all to Finland and to Turku, our oldest city with a very long maritime history and a lively maritime economy of today. The European Maritime Day gives us a great opportunity to boost sustainable maritime growth and to explore new smart ways of doing it.

There is great potential in the blue economy. Finland strongly supports the EU’s blue growth strategy. In fact, one of the key priorities of my Government is to promote the blue bioeconomy. At the moment, we are also discussing how to review our maritime policies. By working together towards our mutual goals, we will make the blue economy grow.

At the same time, we must ensure that our policies are carried out sustainably. For example, the Baltic Sea is very vulnerable. We have been working together with our neighbours and the European Union to improve the water quality of the Baltic Sea. This work is paying off. Already today, we can see some early signs of improvement in the water quality. However, there is still a lot of work to be done.

This conference is all about changing the ways we develop the blue economy and how we deliver our goals in blue growth. I wish you all a very successful and productive stay in Turku! Juha Sipilä Prime Minister of Finland

Welcome to Turku, welcome to the European Maritime Day! Now in its ninth year, EMD is a prestigious date for Europe’s maritime policy community. It is an opportunity for action in support of an integrated approach to maritime affairs. But it is also a celebration of all things maritime, as seen in the impressive array of creative public events organised around the conference – in Turku and across Europe.

This year’s EMD is all about one thing: promoting investment in the blue economy. Jobs, growth and investment are key priorities of this European Commission, and I am convinced that the blue economy has a lot to offer in this regard. Today, only 5% of EU GDP comes from our oceans – although oceans make up 70% of our planet. In other words, our oceans hold enormous potential that is still waiting to be tapped.

How do we unlock this potential while keeping our oceans healthy for future generations?

Over the next days, we will reflect on how to stimulate smart investment into the maritime economy. We will discuss how to create sustainable blue growth and jobs. And we will take a close look at different dimensions of this drive for investment and innovation: skills, energy, blue growth, joint action across borders as well as ocean governance. I am greatly looking forward to these exchanges and hope they will provide the impetus to further shape Europe’s Integrated Maritime Policy agenda. Let’s work together to meet our shared goals of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth – blue growth!

Maritime spatial planning for real – what difference does it make? Organiser Marine Management Organisation LOGI 2 Member States are preparing maritime spatial plans (‘plans’) by 2021; some have them in place already. How a plan will be implemented and evaluated should be considered early on. The expected impact of plans, including enabling ‘blue growth’, should be clear but realistic. This workshop is an opportunity for exchange between those implementing plans and those still to develop them: (i) Share practice of implementing (rather than just producing) plans; (ii) Explore evaluating the impact of plans; (iii) Understand and articulate the benefits of plans and the planning process.

PROGRAMME 25 MARINE LITTER MEETS ART

At the end of April 2016, the cities of Turku, Helsinki, Tallinn and St. Petersburg each organized a Clean Beach event as a part of their cooperation in the Baltic Sea Challenge. The Clean Beach event welcomed volunteers to clean up their communities and shores of the Baltic Sea. A significant part of this simultaneous joint event was the marine litter art project. During the cleaning day, the participants in all four cities collected garbage and debris from the shores and the sea and turned them into environmental art installations. All of the art installations created during the event were photographed and compiled into a digital exhibition that will be shown on one of the screens of the Networking Village. The coordinator of this art project, Finnish artist Kristiina “Tikke” Tuura, is known for making use of abandoned and found objects in her art, especially those found in the sea. On Wednesday, she will bring some of the garbage collected during the Clean Beach event to Logomo and create an installation during the conference in the Pier, by the Networking Village.

Additionally, during Thursday’s closing session EMD participants will witness a world premiere of a video that depicts the issue of marine litter. The video is directed by Lauri Tujula, an art student from Turku, and it was filmed during the Clean Beach event in April 2016.
