As an independent, non-profit, non-compete foundation, the Ocean Data Foundation is enabling unbiased research and facilitate a data driven debate, leading to better decision-making about how to best conserve and use the ocean’s resources. We develop and operate the Ocean Data Platform.

It allows us to collect, categorize and provide ready-made, quality data – from and to people, industry and science. We are making ocean information accessible and useful for all.

We are nothing without strong partners. Partners that we can learn from, grow with and deliver value to. We are looking for partnerships with industry, science and government, who share our mission and are willing to invest the time, data and funding needed to make this common vision come through.

A revolution is always bottom-up. By giving everyone easy access to relevant ocean data, we hope to enable broad participation in a global, unifying system. One that is ambitious enough, in size and funding, to be genuinely effective. Factual enough to be relied upon. Transparent enough to be trusted. Independent enough to represent a shared cause.
