OceanCare has been working to protect marine life since 1989. The international marine conservation organisation, based in Switzerland, holds Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (UN ECOSOC) and contributes to the achievement of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
With our passion, in-depth expertise and great perseverance, we are dedicated to creating a healthy living marine environment worldwide. The world’s oceans are the basis of life on the blue planet. We must succeed in conserving these important living environments.
Whatever concerns us all, can only be solved together. That is why we work closely with leading scientists and partner organisations around the world. We combine our strengths, use synergies where we can and convince decision-makers with our arguments validated by science.
OceanCare pursues ambitious goals. We are committed to improving the situation for marine life in a visionary and passionate way, based on open dialogue.
OceanCare takes a long-term approach to solving problems in the oceans and pursues its strategies until they produce results. That is why our journey is lined with milestones and successes. Dive into the history of the organisation and learn what we have already achieved.
The annual report demonstrates how OceanCare is initiating concrete changes in the ocean, step by step. Spain, for example, has banned oil and gas exploration in its waters, thus reducing harmful underwater noise pollution.
Every amount is of value and will help to protect the ocean and its inhabitants both today and in the future.
