The EU is funding a study to identify the ‘Areas of particular environmental interest in the Atlantic’. The main objective of this study is to support the International Seabed Authority (ISA) to set the Atlantic Regional Environmental Management Plan for the Atlantic area beyond national jurisdiction.

The ISA has just announced the first workshop to take forward the Atlantic REMP process. Interested stakeholders can consult more information, including details for applications to participate and selection criteria.

The terms of reference for the workshop are also available.
