Supporting the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance and Declaration

Project description

A collaborative approach to managing the Atlantic Ocean

The Atlantic Ocean faces numerous environmental challenges, including pollution, overfishing and climate change, threatening marine biodiversity and coastal communities. These issues demand coordinated international efforts to ensure sustainable management and conservation. Despite various initiatives, a cohesive strategy and long-term commitment are crucial for effective solutions. The EU-funded OKEANO project addresses this need by supporting the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA). OKEANO aims to fulfil the goals of the All-Atlantic Declaration, while empowering an All-Atlantic community to sustainably manage the Atlantic Ocean. With the motto ‘Connecting-Cooperating-Acting’, OKEANO enhances AAORIA’s initiatives, ensuring transformative science, innovation and tangible benefits for Atlantic communities.

Objective

OKEANO will provide support to the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA), enabling delivery on the goals of the All-Atlantic Declaration and empowering an All-Atlantic Ocean community to sustainably manage the Atlantic Ocean. With objectives that reflect the Alliance motto ‘Connecting-Cooperating-Acting’, OKEANO will serve to scale and transition the Alliance to a long-term, sustainable and highly impactful international partnership, capable of delivering transformative science and innovation, and concrete benefits for Atlantic communities. It will provide professional support to the core activities of the AAORIA as well as advice on effective long-term governance frameworks and legacy, consolidate and strengthen existing initiatives aligned with the priorities of the All-Atlantic Declaration, facilitate structured dialogue and coordination between the AAORIA and All-Atlantic stakeholders at national, regional and international levels, design and carry out inclusive capacity development initiatives for Atlantic communities, develop an All-Atlantic Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda to support the coordination of marine and maritime research and innovation activities with All-Atlantic stakeholders, and maximise the impact of the project through effective and engaging dissemination, exploitation and communication activities. OKEANO will also support to the organisation, monitoring, communication, and outreach activities of three All-Atlantic Fora. The consortium comprises 15 organisations, ensuring a comprehensive geographical coverage along and across the Atlantic Ocean of countries that endorse the All-Atlantic Declaration. Furthermore, the consortium represents a balanced mixture of unique capabilities, knowledge and access to relevant stakeholder and citizen networks needed to pursue the objectives of the project.
