We capitalize on Stanford's deep expertise in ocean science and other disciplines crucial to solving ocean problems including engineering, computer science, political science, design, and business.

Initiatives

  • Sustainable Ocean Economies

     Developing approaches and tools to support the small island developing states of the Pacific in their efforts to integrate development and conservation.

  • Small-Scale Fisheries & Tech

     Working to use human-centered design approaches to identify new technologies that can help fishing communities manage their resources

  • Managing Ocean Risk

     Fostering collaboration between top researchers, conservationists, and entrepreneurs committed to solving ocean health challenges.

  • Addressing Illegal Fishing and Labor Abuses

     Leading an effort to accelerate action on illegal fishing and human rights violations through linked efforts on three fronts: data, supply chains, and policy.

  • Oceans & Food
