In May 2018, the Galway Statement on Atlantic Ocean Cooperation achieved a significant milestone, when it marked the fifth anniversary of the Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance (AORA) between the European Union, Canada and the U.S.A.
Today there are more than 500 research teams working in the Atlantic Ocean. Transatlantic cooperation has been successfully embedded and embraced with scientific teams working together in Atlantic-wide field campaigns such as:
- seabed mapping
- ocean observation
- weather, climate and polar research
- marine biotechnology and marine spatial planning.
What's the OFI connection? New transatlantic institutional structures have been formed through AORA including with the Ocean Frontier Institute.
