Our Mission: To evaluate and advance ocean-related climate solutions through strategic research, innovative communications, and actionable roadmaps for all interested parties, enabling an intelligent transition to a safe, prosperous, and sustainable future for all.

Our Vision: To provide free, open, powerful, and easily accessible resources for anyone to confidently evaluate, screen, and select climate solutions of interest to industry, entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers, and the general public, and to engage youth in broadly communicating a wide variety of ocean-related climate solutions.

Our Activities: The Climate Sealutions Initiative is focused on four areas of work: (1) Strategic Research will develop a climate solutions intelligence system including open and accessible screening tools and mapping, and roadmaps and other summaries (2) Communications will include a youth-engaged YouTube channel and social media outreach; (3) Policy Contributions will connect strategic research with policy opportunities; and (4) Fellowship Programs will include (a) Early Career Fellows in Strategic Research, Communications, and Policy, and (b) Ocean Climate Legacy Fellows.
