Programs & Activities
Program 1
$4.1MExpanding Ocean Literacy and Public Awareness- One of the most significant barriers to progress in the marine conservation sector is a lack of real understanding about the vulnerability and connectivity of ocean systems. It is easy to think of the oceans as vast, almost unlimited sources of food and recreation with abundant animals, plants, and protected spaces. Thus, it can be difficult to see the destructive consequences of human activities along the coast and below the surface. This lack of awareness creates a significant need for programs that effectively communicate how the health of our oceans relates to climate change, the global economy, biodiversity, human health, and our quality of life.
Program 2
$6.7MProtecting Marine Habitats and Special Places- Our oceans are a mosaic of special places, from the bustling vibrancy of coral reefs to the tidal pools of the rocky coasts to the stark, glistening beauty of the frozen Arctic. These habitats and ecosystems are more than just picturesque they all provide vital benefits to the health of the ocean, the plants and animals that live in them, and the human communities that depend on them.
Program 3
$3.0MBuilding The Capacity of the Marine Conservation Community- There are many outstanding conservation organizations dedicated to protecting and preserving our oceans. The Ocean Foundation provides assistance to these entities, which have a need to develop a certain skill or competence, or for general upgrading of performance ability. The Ocean Foundation was created in part to bring new financial and technical resources to the table so that we can increase the capacity of these organizations to pursue their missions.
