United Oceans exists to help organizations identify who else is working in their area, to collaborate and together tackle the most pressing ocean conservation issues facing us today. Our mission is to help eliminate overlaps, gaps and align all of us to work more effectively to make a difference.
United Oceans provides the link between those for whom the oceans are important. It provides a central source of information and contacts and a forum for the exchange of information and to facilitate agreements essential to the wise exploitation and protection of our marine resources.
There are many organizations already deeply involved in these issues and the mission is to assist them by identifying synergies that could be exploited and roadblocks that could be overcome by working together.
