Our ocean – the planet’s largest ecosystem – is endangered
Climate change and biodiversity loss continue unabated, threatening sustainable development and our viability as a species. Unfortunately, the challenges are particularly evident when we look at the state of our planet’s life support system – the ocean.
To change the downward spiral, humankind must ensure a more sustainable situation for the ocean.
Therefore, we must collaborate to improve ocean stewardship through joint research, capacity development, and sharing data, information, and technology. And we need to change how humans interact with the ocean.
What we do
We support science: To contribute to the stewardship of the ocean, we help scientists understand the sea as a system. We do this by providing unique data, research methods, and infrastructure.
We visualize the past: By spreading knowledge about the ocean’s multi-faceted nature, culture, and history and offering new perspectives, we contribute to a broader understanding of the importance of and interaction with the sea.
We create engagement: We spark interest in and make understanding of the ocean by communicating science in an unbiased and easy-to-digest format.
Our Mission
Voice of the Ocean is a powerhouse with the joint mission to spark curiosity, increase knowledge, and promote commitment to our Ocean.
Through vivid storytelling, educational initiatives, in-depth reporting, and advanced research, we turn people’s attention to the ocean. Because where curiosity and knowledge about the Ocean can grow, commitment will follow.
