Plastic in the Ocean
Plastic, the most common form of persistent marine debris, is one of the most pressing issues in marine ecosystems.
Loreto
We at The Ocean Foundation have a long-standing relationship with the municipality of Loreto in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Seagrass
Seagrasses are flowering plants that grow in shallow waters along the coasts of every continent except Antarctica. Seagrasses provide critical ecosystem services and are a reliable source for carbon sequestration.
Blue Carbon
Blue carbon is the carbon dioxide captured by the world’s ocean and coastal ecosystems, stored in the form of biomass and sediments from mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows.
Sargasso Sea
The health of the Sargasso Sea provides a foundation for economic activities outside of the area. Species of economic interest, such as eel, billfish, whales and turtles rely on the Sargasso Sea.
Human Rights and The Ocean
Human rights violations occur not only on land, but also at sea. Human trafficking, corruption, exploitation, and other violations, combined with a lack of policing and proper laws, is the reality of much ocean activity.
Ocean Literacy and Conservation Behavior Change
Our ocean literacy research page provides current data and trends regarding ocean literacy and behavior change and identifies gaps that we can fill with our Teach For the Ocean Initiative.
Rights-Based Management
In pursuit of our goals to increase ocean health while protecting fishing communities, The Ocean Foundation has worked long and hard with our fellow marine conservation philanthropists.
Deep Seabed Mining
Deep seabed mining (DSM) is a potential commercial industry attempting to mine mineral deposits from the seafloor, in the hopes of extracting commercially valuable minerals. However, this mining is posed to destroy a thriving and interconnected ecosystem that hosts a staggering array of biodiversity.
