The All-Atlantic Talks Podcast series discusses the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance values and ambitions, highlighting the need for cooperation across an Ocean that connects many in different countries.

The episodes explore collaboration efforts around the Alliance’s key priority themes including science diplomacy, open science and ocean data sharing, ocean literacy and society awareness, sustainable blue growth and marine biotechnology, training, capacity building, and marine research infrastructures.

The podcast was developed under the scope of the EU-funded project AANChOR CSA, which aimed to support the implementation of the EU-Brazil-South Africa Belém Statement, its related All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance and the construction of the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Community, through the reinforcement of the international cooperation framework between many countries that border the Atlantic Ocean.

The podcasts include lively discussions of invited guests from all around the Atlantic Ocean, talking about ongoing cooperation initiatives experiences and their benefits, future plans, and solutions for a better and more sustainable management of our Atlantic Ocean
