The Cooperation for Global Maritime Security is not a
formal alliance, and it is not led by any particular
nation, agency, or organization. Rather, it is a loose
affiliation of nations, private enterprise and people
working together to improve safety and security at sea
and across the maritime domain through a free exchange
of information. This Cooperation is based upon shared
concerns for ensuring maritime security, and
participation is driven by common goals and interests.
The benefits of mutual assistance will be shared by all
nations, without regard to each country's level of
participation in the endeavor.
Any nation, organization or individual can choose to
participate, and the level of involvement can be based
on available resources, operating area, ability to
project or contribute to security, and shared national
or individual ideals. This endeavor will help
participants identify common ground, and create a
cooperative environment that will enhance maritime
security to the benefit of all affiliates.
