EU Plans to Heal Marine Water Environment

We all know that our marine environment is not healthy and are concerned about it. The problems are abysmal as the marine world. But it seems, the EU has geared up to give shape to its concerns and solve the existing marine problems. The EU head office has launched a plan to make all of the EU’s marine waters “environmentally healthy”. And it desires to do so by 2021. But, the Environment revolutionaries do not appear to be happy wit the legislation. Saying that it failed to set clear legally binding targets to force governments to take action, they damned the EU strategy as toothless. Marine life in some of Europe’s seas is damaged by toxic chemicals, excess nutrients, intensive fishing and climate change to such an extent that they may already be close to the point of no return, the EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas admonishes. “The stakes are high … 50 percent of Europe’s territory is under marine water. Marine ecosystems play a key role in climate and weather patterns,” he said. “Yet the marine environment is deteriorating fast”, he added.
