The All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance is the result of science diplomacy efforts involving countries from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean which aims at enhancing marine research and innovation cooperation along and across the Atlantic Ocean, from the Arctic to Antarctica.
The Atlantic Ocean is an invaluable resource shared by all Atlantic nations, and beyond. It requires effective cooperation in marine research and innovation to best unlock its secrets and to manage human activities that depend on it in a sustainable way.
The All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance intends to advance the shared vision of an Atlantic Ocean that is healthy, resilient, clean, safe, transparent, predictable, productive, understood and treasured so as to promote the well-being, prosperity and security of present and future generations.
We have 3 main initiatives.
In response to repeated stakeholder requests, the European Union adopted the Atlantic Strategy, a more ambitious, open and effective cooperation in the Atlantic Ocean area.

Furthering the integrated approach to research and development across the whole Atlantic Ocean and its bordering countries, the European Union, South Africa and Brazil co-signed the Belém Statement - On Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Cooperation for the South and Tropical Atlantic and Southern Ocean.
Complementing the EU and Argentina’s wide-ranging and successful cooperation on science and technology matters, the Administrative Arrangement focuses on marine research and innovation to tackle the Atlantic Ocean challenges
Following a bottom-up consultation in the Member States with Atlantic cost, the European Union adopted the Atlantic Action Plan, encouraging Member States to work together in areas where they were previously working individually, and the strengthening of cooperation with other nations Atlantic nations.

As the main instrument supporting the implementation of the Belém Statement, the All Atlantic Ocean Initiative aims to bring together all relevant actors around the Atlantic as to build the All Atlantic Ocean Research Community, and to identify concrete collaborative research and innovation activities across a range of key areas.
The Marine Research and Innovation Cooperation Arrangement, co-signed by the European Commission and the Republic of Cabo Verde, intends to strengthen and enhance research and innovation cooperation in Blue Growth.
