In mid February 2009, the Black Sea Coastal Centre - BSCC was legally established in Constanta, Romania acting as a regional office for Coastal & Marine Union (EUCC) in the Black Sea region. The main objective of the BSCC is to promote the marine and coastal policy in the Black Sea region, as an instrument to achieve sustainable development. The Centre will support the EUCC’s activities in the Black Sea Region as well as developing new initiatives in cooperation with other environmental NGO’s, research and academic organisations and governmental agencies.

BSCC will play an important role in the Black Sea region in conducting research projects and studies and opening a wide range dialogue with the coastal and marine stakeholders for developing and implementing of the EU environmental marine policy. Moreover the BSCC will play an important role in public awareness and environmental education by disseminating useful and significant information about marine and coastal environment.
