The cross-regional marine data cooperation has presently exhibited a certain foundation, however, due to the historical background, scientific and technical level, and safety factors, there are still some gaps in achieving "an accessible ocean"——a goal of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). By summarzing the development partnership and participation in global governance between China and the EU, this paper introduces the background of the emergence of CEMDnet and analyzes the status of cross-regional marine data cooperation. On this basis it proposes a replicable and extensible cross-regional data cooperation model and explains its effectiveness. Suggestions for future cross-regional marine data cooperation are put forward as well.
