  2. Archipelagos of Azores Canaries Cape Verde Madeira Coastalareas of Western Africa FromAgadir in MoroccotoNouadhibou en Mauritania 40º N from Corvo in Azores to 14º N fromFogo in Cape Verde Macaronesia (from greekmacarion=island & nesoi=fortune, FortunateIslands) Biogeographic region (sharing fauna and flora)

  3. 8 TheSize and Characteristics of theEuropeanMacaronesianArchipelagos Produce many barriers to compete in an effective way in the ERA and international scientific context

  16. Developing a Maritime Strategy for the Atlantic Ocean Area (COM(2011) 782 final) “An Atlantic Forum will be set up that will allow Member States, Parliament, regional authorities, civil society and representatives of existing and emerging industries to contribute. It will include a set of workshops focused on the challenges and opportunities outlined above and a think tank to suggest options for achieving the objectives.” Challenges and opportunities grouped in 5 themes • Implementing the ecosystem approach • Reducing Europe's carbon footprint • Sustainable exploitation of the Atlantic seafloor's natural resources • Responding to threats and emergencies • Socially inclusive growth 140 participants, 40 speakers http://atlanticforum2012.plocan.eu
