THE CLOCK IS TICKING

From the oxygen we breathe to the food we eat to the stability of our climate, we only thrive when our ocean thrives. As the climate crisis intensifies, so does human impact on ocean health.

WE ENVISION A FUTURE

Where the ocean is healthy and thriving. That's why we work with sports, maritime and coastal communities to inspire solutions for the ocean.

THE JOURNEY FORWARD

Restoring our seas is an undertaking as large as the ocean itself. We find solutions with strong local stewardship and collective action around the world.

Our Work

We harness the power of sport and philanthropy with an innovative and comprehensive approach through three primary programs.

Developing sustainability leadership

Funding innovative projects in coastal restoration and ocean health

Empowering ocean-loving athletes and creators to work on projects #fortheocean
