All-Atlantic Forum 2025 launches two initiatives for coastal resilience and scientific collaboration

During the annual gathering of the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA) in Brussels on 25 and 26 September 2025, two major initiatives for coastal resilience and scientific collaboration were launched. The first initiative is the All-Atlantic Network of Coastal Resilience Beacon Sites, a community of locally managed sites that pilot actions, share best practices, and scale-up coastal resilience actions at the local level. the second new initiative is the Blue Intergenerational Programme, designed to foster a community of ocean experts across generations and geographies around the Atlantic Ocean, with the goal of restoring the health of coastal waters.

The All-Atlantic Ocean Research & Innovation Alliance is an ocean science diplomacy initiative uniting countries across the Atlantic to generate the knowledge needed for effective ocean policy, governance, and management at local, regional, and international scales. The partners are Argentina, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Canada, the European Union, Ghana, Iceland, Morocco, Norway, Senegal, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.
