The two organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on areas of common interest and to share their knowledge and expertise.
The Welsh Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Mark Drakeford AM, welcomed the move, saying, “By working together we can help achieve our shared vision of clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse seas, creating sustainable economic benefits for both regions.”
Bob Egerton, Cornwall Council Portfolio Holder for Planning and Economy, was equally enthusiastic, saying, “This is a really progressive move and one which will deliver big advantages for both organizations. This collaboration could help both Cornwall and Wales to compete more effectively on the world stage and to bring new technologies to market more quickly, in an industry that has a vital role to play in each of our local economies.”
