Cyprus marine institute calls for long-term EU coastal strategy

The European Union must adopt a long-term and targeted institutional framework for the resilience of coastal areas to replace the current approach of short-term project implementation, Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute Chief Executive Officer Zacharias Siokouros urged.

According to Entrepreneurial Limassol, a periodical published by the Limassol Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the demand was made during a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions held in Nicosia on February 20, 2026.
