Independent Voting Board Members
The following board members constitute the Board of Directors of The Ocean Foundation. The Ocean Foundation by-laws currently allow for 15 board members. Of the current board members, over 90% are fully independent with no material or pecuniary relationship with The Ocean Foundation (in the US, independent outsiders make up 66% of all boards). The Ocean Foundation is not a membership organization, thus our board members are elected by the board itself; they are not appointed by the Chair of the Board (i.e. this is a self-perpetuating board). One member of our board is the paid President of The Ocean Foundation.
