The ATSEA-2 Project's mission in the ATS region is focused on transboundary collaboration; catalyzing social, ecological, and economic progress through partnerships centered around the blue economy. These efforts acknowledge the inseparable linkages between a healthy marine environment and human well-being; by promoting responsible fisheries, tourism and renewable energy, ATSEA-2 supports the livelihoods of coastal communities, while also ensuring the long-term sustainability of marine resources.
