Blue Resilience Initiative
We rally private investors, nonprofit organizations, and government actors to restore and protect coastal ecosystems that increase our climate resilience, reduce pollution, and promote a sustainable blue economy.
Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative
We support the development of marine education community leaders and empower students of all ages to translate ocean literacy into conservation action around the world.
International Ocean Acidification Initiative
We help build the capacity of scientists, policymakers, and communities – to monitor, understand, and respond to the effects of ocean acidification both locally and collaboratively on a global scale.
Plastics Initiative
We work to influence sustainable production and consumption of plastics, to achieve a truly circular economy. We believe this begins with prioritizing materials and product design to protect human and environmental health.
