In this month's episode of our Ocean series, we visit the locked-down Côte d'Azur to meet blue economy professionals overcoming the corona crisis — from fishing boats and aquaculture sites to processing factories and seafood restaurants. We'll see them finding new ways to provide fish to their customers and salaries to their workers, and talk to EU Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Virginijus Sinkevičius about Europe’s role in helping out the sector.

Tune in to Euronews from 19 May @ 20:50 CET – on any platform.
