As part of their respective missions, MAIA and the OSPAR Convention work to establish networks of stakeholders involved in marine protected areas and they use common data themes.
By pooling and sharing information or technical infrastructure, each entity's action can be optimized:
* OSPAR wishes to improve data reliability through more simple collection processes and facilitate dissemination.
* MAIA needs the OSPAR Commission's data to populate its own database.
Aware of the possible added value, the two entities wish to study the feasibility and scope of a potential pooling of their databases and respective intelligence tools.
