3. Day 1 Take Aways (cont.) Canadian Perspective on Maritime Security ~Mr. Chris Alexander Maritime Security is critical to Canada’s key objectives – growth, economic stability and long-term prosperity. Globalization presents extraordinary opportunities for countries like Canada, but it also increases the need for Maritime Security across a spectrum of challenges (e.g. digital economy). Canada and other nations must have the political will to maintain and implement Maritime Security strategies (e.g. Maritime Security Operations Center).

4. Day 1 Take Aways (cont.) Setting the Scene for the Conference: Extending the Principles of Maritime Security Cooperation and Awareness. ~Dalhousie University Centre for Foreign Policy Studies Maritime Security must include a holistic approach that includes all actors and considers various governance, standards and best practices. Cultural and political awareness is a key consideration and lack of awareness may pose an impediment to an effective Maritime Security strategy. Denial of market regime to bad actors can often move policy forward.

6. Day 1 Take Aways (cont.) Panel 2 – Regional / Interregional MS Governance Cooperation between maritime states does not need formal structure. Regional and international cooperation occurs when there are common interests. Common interests and strategic priorities determine nature and extent of cooperation and relationship. Regardless of region, there are common elements: information sharing; cooperative arrangements; capacity building; and trust. There are a number of excellent regional models in existence, but none of these models are adaptable to the international level.
