France Environmental Ministry Launches Oceans Initiative

France has launched an addition to its Green Plan (le Grenelle Environment Round Table) known as Le Grenelle de la Mer. Announced in February 2009, le Grenelle Oceans will bring together experts, stakeholders, industry, government, and NGOs to form four working groups. Themes to be addressed include sustainable fisheries, biodiversity, transportation, energy, climate change, marine sector jobs, coastal development, and governance at local and global levels. While le Grenelle Environment does address marine issues, Le Grenelle Oceans aims to bring deeper, single-issue analysis to the overarching Green Plan.
