- Blue Growth Initiative (EN) | The project aligns with the FAO's Blue Growth Initiative, which focuses on the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture. The Blue Growth Initiative emphasizes the need to maximize economic and social benefits while minimizing environmental degradation in these sectors, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The project contributes to the goals of the Blue Growth Initiative by promoting sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices. It aims to ensure the protection and sustainability of the marine ecosystem in the project area, which aligns with the initiative's objective of managing the environment and its resources in a sustainable manner. By implementing targeted interventions and creating enabling conditions, the project seeks to maximize economic and social benefits while minimizing environmental degradation, thus supporting the goals of the Blue Growth Initiative. In terms of synergies, the project will actively collaborate with the FAO and other stakeholders involved in the Blue Growth Initiative. This collaboration will involve sharing experiences, exchanging knowledge, and aligning objectives and activities to maximize the impact and effectiveness of both the project and the Blue Growth Initiative. The project will also explore opportunities for joint initiatives and funding mechanisms to support sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development in the project area, leveraging the expertise and resources available through the Blue Growth Initiative. (EN), Conference of peripheral MaritiMe regions (EN) | The CPMR recognizes the importance of innovation and research for regional development. The AlgaeRevive project will work to collaborate with the CPMR to promote innovation initiatives of the Black Sea region, share the research and development of the project, and facilitate knowledge exchange in areas of mutual interest. (EN), Black Sea Economic Cooperation (EN) | By leveraging the project's expertise and initiatives in macroalgae cultivation, AlgaeRevive will play a significant role in promoting sustainable practices and environmental protection in the Black Sea region. AlgaeRevive project will actively participate in workshops and joint meetings organized by BSEC and the Permanent Secretariat of the Commission on the Protection of the Black Sea against Pollution and also will invite them to project's transnational events. These platforms will provide opportunities for knowledge sharing, discussing the implementation of environmental strategies, and fostering practical cooperation. AlgaeRevive project team will present its research findings, methodologies, and best practices related to macroalgae cultivation and its potential role in mitigating environmental challenges in the Black Sea ecosystem.

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- EUStrategyDanubeRegion The project contributes to the EU Strategy for the Danube Region by addressing eutrophication, promoting cross-border cooperation, fostering research and innovation, and supporting the principles of environmental sustainability, integrated water management, and blue growth in the Black Sea Basin, which is connected to the Danube River.
- The project's efforts align with the objectives and themes of the EU Strategy, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of the Danube region and its natural resources. In particular, the strategy aims to promote environmental sustainability and the protection of natural resources.The project directly contributes to this objective by addressing marine pollution, a significant environmental issue in the Black Sea, which is influenced by nutrient runoff from the Danube River basin. By mitigating eutrophication and reducing heavy metal pollution, the project supports the environmental sustainability of the Danube and the Black Sea Basin as a whole. The EU Strategy emphasizes the importance of integrated water management to ensure the sustainable use of water resources. The AlgaeRevive project aligns with this objective by focusing on the monitoring and assessment of algae communities and nutrient levels in the Black Sea coastal area. By understanding the dynamics of eutrophication and developing innovative solutions, the project contributes to the integrated water management efforts in the Danube River basin and the Black Sea region. The EU Strategy promotes research, innovation, and knowledge exchange as drivers of sustainable development. The project contributes by conducting scientific research on algae communities, nutrient reduction strategies, and the feasibility of algae-based solutions for eutrophication control. The project's knowledge hub and data-sharing platforms facilitate the exchange of information, research findings, and best practices, promoting innovation and supporting evidence-based decision-making.
- SeaBasinStrategyBlackSea The project aligns with the Common Maritime Agenda for the Black Sea by addressing several priorities and goals outlined in the agenda.
- Goal I: Healthy marine and coastal ecosystems. The project supports the protection and sustainability of the marine ecosystem through its actions. It promotes the development of a consistent approach for the protection and restoration of the Black Sea ecosystem, including research on ecosystem assessments, forecasts, and management. The project encourages joint projects among protected areas and the exchange of best practices in managing protected areas. It also promotes research and valorization of biodiversity and natural heritage.
- Goal II: A competitive, innovative, and sustainable blue economy. The project contributes to fostering innovation, sustainable growth, and up-to-date jobs in the Black Sea's blue economy. It supports research and innovation and the integration of new technologies.
- Goal III: Fostering investment in the Black Sea blue economy. The project aims to support the upgrading of algae knowledge improve access to financial resources and promote sustainable investment in the blue economy.
- Other The project aligns with the European Green Deal, which aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. By addressing marine pollution and blue economy development and promoting sustainable practices in the Black Sea Basin, the project contributes to the environmental objectives of the Green Deal. It focuses on reducing pollution, protecting biodiversity, and fostering the development of the Blue Bioeconomy, which supports the transition to a more sustainable and circular economy.
- Other The project aligns with the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, which aims to halt biodiversity loss and restore degraded ecosystems. By mitigating heavy metal pollution and protecting the marine ecosystem, the project directly contributes to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity in the Black Sea Basin. It seeks to restore the balance and health of the ecosystem by using algae-based solutions and promoting sustainable aquaculture practices.
- Other The AlgaeRevive project aligns with the principles, objectives, and priorities of the Convention for the Protection of the Black Sea Against Pollution, also known as the Bucharest Convention, by addressing eutrophication, promoting transboundary cooperation, sharing knowledge and data, and contributing to sustainable development in the Black Sea Basin. The project supports the implementation of the Convention's commitments and contributes to the overall protection and conservation of the Black Sea marine environment.
- Other The project contributes to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
