What is the Alliance?

The Sargasso Sea Alliance is a partnership led by the Government of Bermuda, in collaboration with scientists, international marine conservation groups and private donors, who all share a vision of protecting the unique and vulnerable ocean ecosystem of the Sargasso Sea. We aim to mobilize support from a wide variety of national and international organizations and governments to ensure legal protection for this critical ecosystem. 

The Alliance has four key objectives:

• To build an international partnership that will secure recognition of the ecological significance of the Sargasso Sea and the threats that it faces,
• To use existing regional, sectoral and international organizations to secure a range of protective measures for all or parts of the Sargasso Sea to address key threats,
• To establish a management regime for the Sargasso Sea, and
• To use the process as an example of what can and cannot be delivered through existing institutions in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
