The Baltic Sea is a hotbed for maritime innovation and activities and provides a huge potential for enhancing the blue economy and boosting the region’s competitiveness. Cooperation at sea-basin level has an essential role to play in building on this potential.
The European Commission is currently taking the development of the Sustainable Blue Growth Agenda for the Baltic Sea Region one step further. The aim is to kick-start the development of its implementation strategy, stimulating potential investment and more strategic inter-regional and inter-cluster cooperation.
In order to collect views and experiences from public and private stakeholders and potential workshop participants an online survey has been launched. The European Commission would welcome your input on development fields and economic opportunities which are of main importance for you.
Taking part in this survey allows you to contribute to shaping the framework for the implementation strategy for the Baltic Blue Growth Agenda and to identify the necessary steps and priority actions, commitments and investment needed.

What is an Intergroup?
The Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas Intergroup is one of the 27 Intergroups that were approved on 11 December 2019 by the Conference of Presidents for the 9th legislature of the European Parliament. Intergroups can be formed by MEPs from any political group and any parliamentary committee with a view to holding informal exchanges of views on particular issues and promoting contact between MEPs and civil society.
The Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas Intergroup brings together more than 100 MEPs from 7 different political groups and 23 Member States.
Intergroups are not Parliament bodies and therefore may not express Parliament's opinion.
Intergroups are subject to internal rules adopted by the Conference of Presidents on 16 December 1999 (last updated on 11 September 2014), which set out the conditions under which intergroups may be established at the beginning of each parliamentary term and their operating rules.
