APPROACH
RESTORING OUR OCEANS TO FULL PRODUCTIVITY
OUR WORK
We partner with governments to help them improve livelihoods and protect ocean resources by implementing sustainable ocean plans.
THE PROBLEM
THE OCEANS ARE DYING.
66% of the world's seafood is overfished.
UN Food and Agricultural Organization 2015
By 2050 it is predicted that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
...yet less than 4% of the ocean is protected
The Solution
PROTECT 30% OF THE WORLDS' OCEANS
Science shows that protecting at least 30%
of the ocean is critical for recovery

There is no choice of economy or environment, systems work when decisions are made for the economy AND
the environment.
"No one person, no one entity can save the oceans, but if we work together, we pool our resources, this is a problem we can fix."
-Ted Waitt, Founder & Chairman of Waitt Foundation
OVERFISHING REMAINS THE BIGGEST FIXABLE THREAT OF OUR TIME
