OCEAN HEALTH INDEX

To protect our oceans, we must understand them. Discover CI's plan to create a scientifically sound, globally respected Ocean Health Index that will reveal variations and trends in ocean health to consolidate broad commitment to improve ocean health in its most vulnerable places.
Our fisheries are failing. Since the 1950s, fishing fleets have increased their reach and capacity and now operate even in the most remote corners of the world’s oceans. Promoting sustainable fisheries through policy reform, from the local to global level, is needed now more than ever.
Seascapes enhance ocean health through good governance of large marine areas. Learn about the seascapes model and explore successes in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, Bird's Head and Sulu-Sulawesi Seascapes.
REGIONAL Ocean STEWARDSHIP
Oceans are vast places, touching multiple countries and continents. CI is working at a regional scale to rally government leadership and public action, especially through the creation of new seascapes and other innovative policies.
Communication and education are essential for improving public understanding of the ocean's importance. Much of the ocean is still unknown to humans.
Our marine science programs are at the core of the Global Marine Division. Sound  science, combined with innovation and forward thinking, enables us  to provide marine conservation solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
