Summary/Abstract: As a result of growing challenges in the maritime environment, including specific criminality, challenges affecting member countries' economies and regional and international stability, the European Union has developed a Maritime Security Strategy, updated in 2023, which aims to ensure freedom of navigation and the protection of marine resources, including the prevention and combating of crime at sea. Maritime crime includes a variety of offenses, from piracy, smuggling, drug trafficking, human trafficking to illegal fishing and water pollution. These activities not only threaten marine ecosystems but also have significant economic effects on coastal countries and the blue economy. EU cooperation in maritime security is thus not just a defensive act, but an important strategy for maintaining an efficient and sustainable maritime economy and sustainable development in the maritime environment.
