Project or context description
CRIMARIO is an EU-funded maritime capacity-building initiative established in 2015, in the western Indian Ocean, and extended across the Pacific to Latin America in 2021 with the launch of the EU Indo-Pacific strategy. CRIMARIO enables the EU’s Indo-Pacific partners and organizations to better govern their maritime spaces by promoting cross-sectorial, interagency, and transregional cooperation in the areas of maritime security and safety. CRIMARIO goes about its tasks by mentoring and advising in fields related to maritime safety and security, through courses and exercises, focusing its effort on its flagship product : the Indo-Pacific Regional Information Sharing (IORIS).
CRIMARIO is now deemed to be by many an EU flagship project in the Indo-Pacific, which is focused on strengthening regional maritime governance, covering security and safety, and the fight against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. CRIMARIO III will consolidate what has been accomplished in the Indo-Pacific by intensifying sectoral activities, whilst expanding to other countries in Central and Latin America, and selectively in the Caribbean if finances allow, with a view to broadening the IORIS information-exchange platform's reach and tied to this, its sustainability.
