Our vision for the future
        An introduction to our long-term objectives 

There are many threats to the survival of our vulnerable oceans; the steady increase in the utilisation of the sea has been matched by increases in marine pollution. Through demonstrative projects, lobbying and research KIMO will continue to work passionately to encourage the implementation of legislation that tackles current problems, such as marine litter and to prevent future problems, such as ocean acidification. 

To ensure that marine pollution does not overwhelm Europe’s oceans, commercial companies, local government and national government must work in close collaboration to ensure all serious threats are addressed. By being more environmentally responsible now we can reduce the volume of work for the next generation. 

Many well intentioned environmental policies fail to navigate their way through the conflicting agendas of the legislative process without becoming diluted and blunted. KIMO is passionate about implementing legislation that will have a positive effect on Europe’s marine environment in the long-term. Economic pressures must not be ranked above environmental concerns; without a healthy environment Europe’s economies cannot operate effectively.
