Speaking at the #OurOceanGreece about fisheries #sustainability : a global challenge that needs strong partnerships.

Which is why, as part of the €3.5 bn we pledged for ocean protection, almost €2 bn will help support sustainable #fisheries & #aquaculture in the Mediterranean.

The opportunity to discuss ocean & #climate , #fisheries , the Intergovernmental Panel for Ocean Sustainability, and of course, the Treaty of the High Seas #BBNJ .

Honoured to be in Anchorage today, in Dena'ina land, and to have had the chance to speak at #Arctic Encounter .

The EU is in the Arctic through our Member States, and as a partner to those living in the #Arctic , including indigenous peoples.

Whether it is about an increasing hazard & risk landscape, or securing critical maritime infrastructure, the EU & the US have much in common.

I discussed with Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Science and Technology, Dimitri Kusnezov, how to foster our cooperation.

Arctic #research & innovation are essential enablers to all #Arctic activities.
I met with President Pitney, Alaska University System, & Chancellor White, Alaska University Fairbanks, to discuss #Horizon , #MissionOcean , & opportunities for cooperation.
