Climate Disruption is the Top Threat to Our Ocean
Together we can advance new solutions to stabilize the climate and restore the ocean
Our Strategy — Reduce, Remove, Repair, Reach
Enormous greenhouse gas pollution is disrupting the climate and driving dangerous ocean overheating and acidification—devastating marine life and diminishing the ocean’s ability to support humanity. Our four-part strategy directly addresses the causes and impacts of climate disruption:
REDUCE
CO2 emissions
Maximize low-carbon food, energy and transportation from the ocean
REMOVE
CO2 pollution
Engage the size and power of the ocean to draw down and safely store carbon pollution
REPAIR
Develop interventions to avoid catastrophic loss of critical marine ecosystems while we rebalance global carbon cycles
REACH
Build a global community to innovate and develop ocean-climate solutions
