Navigating Security Challenges: The Future of Marine Infrastructure in European Seas

This policy brief examines the security, environmental, and geopolitical threats to marine infrastructure in Europe, specifically within the Baltic Sea region, based on a workshop held in Riga on 26 April 2024.

• Marine infrastructure in Europe is essential for communication, transport, energy production, and new industries like renewable energy and offshore aquaculture, but it faces rising geopolitical, environmental, and security threats.
• Addressing the challenges facing European marine infrastructure requires the implementation of balanced policies, data-sharing frameworks, and cross-border cooperation to ensure sustainability.
• The brief's analysis is informed by a workshop titled “Navigating Security Challenges: The Future of Marine Infrastructure in European Seas,” which took place on 26 April 2024 in Riga and included participants from five eastern Baltic Sea countries.
