20th May 2012, all over Europe
The European Maritime Day is celebrated annually across Europe on the 20th May through various events. It puts all maritime sectors and activities in the spotlight to the importance of the sea for everyday life, and for economy and job creation, both in coastal communities and in landlocked areas across Europe and to provoke reflection.
