The diversity of ocean life makes all life on Earth possible - giving us air to breathe, creating food for billions, cycling and storing our carbon, regulating our climate, and providing medicine to fight disease.
With over 90% of ocean life remaining unknown and 75% of the seabed still unmapped, the mission is to advance the scientific exploration of the ocean and radically advance fundamental and applied science that helps us tackle global challenges including climate destabilization, food insecurity, and biodiversity destruction. The accelerating loss of ocean biodiversity drives the charity's urgency to discover and preserve ocean life for generations to come.
