The Ocean Foundation
The Ocean Foundation is the gathering place for marine conservation donors and conservation entrepreneurs to advance global ocean solutions. We work to provide financial resources to marine conservation initiatives by providing conservation grants, hosting projects and funds, and collaborating with important campaigns and opinion leaders. Because of the dynamic nature of our business, including the many projects that we host, we have a variety of powerful resources that we can bring to any ocean conservation project. We have grantees, partners and projects on all the world’s continents. Our Board of Directors is comprised of individuals with significant experience in marine conservation philanthropy, complemented by an expert, professional staff, and a growing international advisory board of scientists, policy makers, educational specialists, and other top experts. Since 2003 we have spent over $84.1 million on marine conservation - through grants and services - to protect marine habitats and species of concern, build the ocean conservation community's capacity and expand ocean literacy.
