Moreover Copernicus will introduce new services in support of the law enforcement and of safety of navigation in the zones infested from the ice.

The program previews also the prosecuzione of the support to marine safety in the Gulf of Guinea, also through the interregional net of the Gulf of Guinea and the start of two new programs: the program of support to integrated marine safety of the West Africa (Swaims), for an amount of 29 million euros, and the program in order to improve harbour safety in the West Africa and headquarters, for an amount of 8,5 million euros.

An appropriation of a million euro in 2017 is face to support the potenziamento of the technologies of the information and the communication (MANNERISM) of the marine authorities of the EU and to facilitate their cooperation. Moreover the European Union has announced that it will supply a contribution of 80 thousand euros in order to facilitate the cooperation between authorities that carry out functions of coastgard in Europe.

The actions that the EU has been engaged to put into effect in the field of marine safety include the launch, happened in recent days, of the prototype of a surveillance instrument that characterizes the ships in order to find the capacity of the human activities in sea. The instrument for research purposes of not identified marine objects, or "SUMO", it is a software that automatically analyzes to the coming data from satellites for the elaboration of images radar to the aim to characterize boats also not longer than a meter in night or cloudiness conditions. The instrument SUMO is an open source in order to promote of uses it by users and promoters and in order to facilitate the international cooperation in matter of mapping of the navigation routes, monitoring of the intensity of navigation, location of the ships that they pollute, monitoring of the fishing activities, fight to piracy and smuggling and control of the marine frontiers.

The program of actions of the EU in marine pollution matter Toilets Information System for Europe preview the start of the WISE (), a portal of access to the information on the European issues in water matter that is destined to the great public and the interested subjects and finalized to promote better a governance of the oceans and a better management based on the ecosystems. The platform will be widened and integrated ulteriorly in the next few years.

Moreover three million euro will be destined to facilitate projects of twinning in the basin of the Mediterranean, as those between institutes of formation and instruction in marine within, enterprises that operate in the field of the blue economy and local communities of peach. At last 1,5 million euros will be allocated for the restoration of the marine and coastal ecosystems in the Mediterranean.

The series of actions for the development of the sustainable blue economy includes the start of the program of marine partnership Appease-EU, for an amount of 45 million euros, that it is face to support the sustainable management and the development of the peach for alimentary safety and the economic increase, facing meanwhile the issues of the resilience to the climatic changes and of the conservation of the marine biodiversity. Moreover actions will be put into effect in order all over the world to accelerate the processes of planning of marine the marine space/in cooperation with the intergovernmental oceanographic Commission of the Unesco (With - the Unesco), in compliance with the engagements assumed from both the parts on March 24, 2017.
