Mission
Accelerating ocean conservation by connecting ocean professionals to the knowledge and networks they need
Through our broad suite of tools and communities, we break down barriers to knowledge – empowering ocean professionals to apply best practices and science worldwide.
What we offer
We provide and host leading topic-specific communities and information sharing services.
Our variety of services help ocean managers and conservationists share knowledge, access science, and network with peers no matter their location or financial means.These range from a community who have vibrant discussions focused on marine litter (MarineDebris.info) to a site where you will find tons of recent and past ocean related literature, news, jobs, grants and more (OpenChannels). Each service may have multiple parts, some offer webinars or listserv discussions, others are newsletters, and one provides open access literature.
This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what you can learn and who you can meet through our services. Click on each service below to connect and learn.
