Education Impact Objective

Ocean-Positive Decisionmaking

Protecting the ocean requires more than goodwill: it requires informed, coordinated action.

Our programs are designed to equip people and institutions with the data, understanding, and collaborative platforms they need to make decisions that safeguard ocean health and human well-being.

The ocean plays an essential role in sustaining life on Earth—but its importance is not always reflected in the decisions that shape its future. At OceanX, we see a powerful opportunity to change that. By expanding access to knowledge, data, and tools, we’re helping decision-makers at every level understand what’s at stake and act with foresight. Through science, education, and collaboration, we’re closing gaps in understanding and capacity—so that today’s choices can lead to a healthier ocean tomorrow.

Informing decisionmakers

OceanX collects and shares timely and vital ocean data to inform timely, science-based action. We create educational tools and experiences for audiences at all levels—from the general public to heads of state—to ensure people understand the state of the ocean and what’s at stake in its management.

Convening stakeholders

Just as importantly, we bring people from around the world together to discuss the ocean. By convening scientists, policymakers, government officials, philanthropists, and youth leaders, we foster the exchange of knowledge and perspectives that leads to robust and sustained collaboration. These connections strengthen governance, accelerate implementation, and empower communities to protect the ocean as a shared global resource.

Inspiring the next wave of leaders

We also invest in the next generation of ocean leaders—young scientists, advocates, and changemakers—who will shape the policies and innovations of tomorrow. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and global collaboration in programs such as our flagship Leadership Immersions, we’re building a future where informed, courageous leadership ensures a thriving ocean for generations to come.
