14/10/24 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 10 October 2024, the Africa-Europe Ocean Strategic Group presented its report on how to help the two continents work together on ocean issues, the European Commission announced on Monday 14 October. The group was set up by the European Commission in partnership with the African Union Commission and is managed by the Africa-Europe Foundation with funding from the European Commission (European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund). The report was born out of the realisation that ocean governance has often been absent from the Africa-Europe partnership, despite the importance of the ocean to the lives of millions of people, and despite the fact that both the African Union and the EU recognise the urgent need to mobilise global action for the ocean.
