Morocco will be part of the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA), under the Sustainable Blue Economies program that was announced by the US State Department on Wednesday within the Our Ocean Conference (OOC) in Panama.
The global initiatives are totaling more than 800 million dollars meant to protect the Atlantic Ocean and assist developing countries.
The sustainable blue economies advance ocean health alongside economic prosperity, sustainable food, energy, and transportation.
Besides Morocco, the AAORIA includes Argentina, Brazil, Cabo Verde, the EU, and South Africa.
The initiatives include many programs like Climate Change, Sustainable Fisheries, Marine Protected Areas, Maritime Security, Marine Pollution, and Atlantic cooperation.
