Key Areas

Discover how we make a difference

By addressing these key areas, we create lasting, positive change for the ocean and future generations.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity sustains ecosystems by providing essential services like oxygen production and climate regulation. One Ocean Foundation protects marine life through research, bridging data gaps in the Mediterranean and advancing global conservation.

Blue Carbon

Blue carbon refers to the carbon captured and stored by marine ecosystems such as seagrass meadows and mangroves, crucial for climate mitigation but still vulnerable. One Ocean Foundation supports research, restoration, and protection to enhance ocean carbon capture.

Marine Pollution

Plastics, chemicals, and other contaminants threaten ocean health, harming biodiversity and human well-being. One Ocean Foundation researches ecotoxicology, promotes prevention, and reduces plastic through cleanups and innovative waste management strategies.

Coastal Protection

Coastlines are the first barrier between land and sea, playing a crucial role in protecting communities and ecosystems. However, climate change accelerates erosion and extreme weather events. The Foundation strengthens coastal resilience with nature-based solutions to safeguard shorelines.

Education

Education is key to ocean protection, though it feels distant from daily life. One Ocean Foundation raises awareness and equips individuals and businesses to drive meaningful action for ocean stewardship.

Industry Awareness

One Ocean Foundation works closely with business to accelerate the transition toward a regenerative blue economy. The aim is to bridge the gap between business and ocean sustainability.
