Together we can advance new solutions to stabilize the climate and restore the ocean
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:
Maximize low-carbon food, energy and transportation from the ocean
Engage the size and power of the ocean to draw down and safely store carbon pollution
Advance collaborative research to slow and avoid catastrophic loss of critical marine ecosystems while we rebalance global carbon cycles
Build a global community to innovate and develop ocean-climate solutions
The loss of Arctic summer sea ice is one of the most alarming indicators of climate change. The only durable solution is rapid and deep global decarbonization. However, to minimize interim risks, there may be complementary actions we can take to help avoid the worst outcomes. In partnership with an international, multidisciplinary team of experts, we've created an assessment of potential pathways to slow Arctic sea ice loss.
We’re thrilled to announce that the 4th Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2025 will be held in March 25-27 2025, in Vancouver, Canada. This action-oriented event will bring together scientists, policymakers, innovators, funders, students, and others to explore solutions and strengthen partnerships to help restore our ocean and stabilize the climate.

Ocean Visions and Esri have collaborated to create a first-of-its-kind Ocean Iron Fertilization Site Suitability Planning Tool.
Companies to receive expert support in optimizing marine carbon dioxide removal methods that may help address the climate crisis
Ocean Visions is a nonprofit organization at the center of a robust network comprised of leading universities and oceanographic institutions, and a diverse set of practitioner partners. Ocean Visions works to engage and focus resources from across this network for concerted action, catalyzing collaboration for the co-design, development, testing, and evaluation of solutions to the interlocking ocean-climate crisis.
