Marine protected area management experiences towards strictly protected areas

This document presents some of the important messages transmitted through the various presentations given at the LIFE Marine Platform Meeting 2022. The meeting considered how the member states can achieve 10% strictly protected marine areas in European Seas by 2030. Three main areas of discussion were pre-selected as areas of potential interest: ecology, economy and geopolitics.
These policy messages have been extracted from the presentations and summary sessions at the end of the meeting.
