This is a confidential deliverable submitted under ATLAS project. The Ethical Methods statement details the procedures which will be followed for research involving human participants during ATLAS.
\n\nThe University of Edinburgh (UEDIN) as coordinator of ATLAS will adopt the UEDIN School of Geosciences Ethical Framework for research involving human participants and will require ATLAS partners engaged in research with human participants to adhere to these guidelines. This will ensure that the ethical standards and guidelines of Horizon 2020 will be rigorously applied, regardless of the country in which the research is carried out. All participant institutions are required to comply with the EU directive 95/46/EC on data protection and with any updates on standards or requirements it might receive during the lifetime of the project. The EC\u2019s requirements are stipulated in Article 34 \u2013 Ethics.

\r\n\r\nThere are two main routes towards open access to literature and data publications:
\r\n\r\nATLAS creates a dynamic new partnership between multinational industries, SMEs, governments and academia to assess the Atlantic's deep-sea ecosystems and Marine Genetic Resources to create the integrated and adaptive planning products needed for sustainable Blue Growth.
\r\n\r\nATLAS will gather diverse new information on sensitive Atlantic ecosystems (including Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) and Ecologically or Biologically Sensitive Areas (EBSAs)) to produce a step-change in our understanding of their connectivity, functioning and responses to future changes in human use and ocean climate. This is possible because ATLAS takes innovative approaches to its work and interweaves its objectives by placing business, policy and socioeconomic development at the forefront with science.

This is possible because ATLAS takes innovative approaches to its work and interweaves its objectives by placing business, policy and socioeconomic development at the forefront with science.
\r\n\r\nATLAS not only uses trans-Atlantic oceanographic arrays to understand and predict future change in living marine resources, but enhances their capacity with new sensors to make measurements directly relevant to ecosystem function. The ATLAS team has the track record needed to meet the project's ambitions and has already developed a programme of 25 deep-sea cruises, with more pending final decision.
\r\n\r\nThese cruises will study a network of 12 Case Studies spanning the Atlantic, including, sponge, cold-water coral, seamount and mid-ocean ridge ecosystems. The team has an unprecedented track record in policy development at national, European and international levels. An annual ATLAS Science-Policy Panel in Brussels will take the latest results and Blue Growth opportunities identified from the project directly to policy makers.
\r\n\r\nFinally, ATLAS has a strong trans-Atlantic partnership in Canada and the USA where both government and academic partners will interact closely with ATLAS through shared cruises, staff secondments, scientific collaboration and work to inform Atlantic policy development. ATLAS has been created and designed with our north American partners to foster trans-Atlantic collaboration and the wider objectives of the Glaway Statement on Atlantic Ocean Cooperation.
