CRIMARIO is an EU-funded maritime capacity-building initiative established in 2015, in the western Indian Ocean, with the ambition of supporting like-minded partners better govern their maritime spaces through information sharing initiatives, capacity building and training, with a focus on Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). In 2020, the project was extended for four more years to also cover Asia, and with the launch of the EU Indo-Pacific strategy, in 2021, it was extended across the Pacific to Latin America.
