| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | From April 2024-April 2025 (Year 4) work continued to be focused on marine research, public communications, and policy advocacy. A comprehensive and substantial website was kept updated; and a comprehensive ‘Mission Overview’ document was updated. Letters of Engagement continued to be active with accountancy practice (Lang Bennetts/TC Group) and legal practice (Stephens Scown). A Memorandum of Understanding regarding a research partnership between the University of Exeter and the charity continued to be active, enabling the university to host the Arctic Ocean Research Unit. A new research partnership was established by legal contract with the UN-affiliated World Maritime University based in Malmo, Sweden. The charity commissioned its first UN report from the WMU, to be published in Autumn 2025. The report's title is: The Arctic Ocean Region: Biodiversity, Governance & Protective Measures. Its conclusions will inform which specific, UN-approved, protective measures may be appropriate to advance through the International Maritime Organization and/or the envisaged UN High Seas Treaty. |
A corporate partnership with vessel-monitoring service, Concirrus, involving supply of data enabled initial research and scoping to begin on the development of an improved Arctic Ocean Vessel Monitoring & Reporting service. A public education docu-short film (15 minutes) was made, titled Out Stack! which explains the proximity of the UK to the Arctic and therefore the relevance to Britain of Arctic Ocean issues and solutions. A series of keynote speeches were made at national and international conferences about the charity's work and advancing its policy solution for the protection of the CAO's biodiversity. Podcast interviews were given and promoted; and the frequency of social media posts was increased. A regular column was agreed, and written, for international magazine, Oceanographic. Relationships were established with substantial ocean-interested grant-awarding bodies in the US and Europe, and grant applications were made.
