This call for proposals and topic aim at preparing the ground for concrete actions to mitigate the threat to human health and safety, the environment and to the development of a sustainable blue economy posed by the presence of submerged munitions in the Baltic Sea.

It seeks to foster cooperation among the Baltic Sea Member States, as well as neighbouring countries cooperating with the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, between the public and private sectors, including investors, as well as civil and military entities, to identify and gather the data necessary to establish a list of priorities and conduct relevant risk assessments. This work will facilitate the exchange of best practices across different stakeholders and sea-basins and contribute to awareness raising.
