Program Overview
The ocean is the lifeblood of our planet. It moderates the climate, is foundational to the livelihoods and wellbeing of billions, and is key to integral food security and nutrition. Yet climate change and overexploitation are rapidly threatening the ocean’s ability to act as a foundational system for a thriving world, and these pressures are accelerating faster than existing policies and management systems can respond, putting at risk the ocean’s ability to sustain both people and the planet.
That’s why EDF Oceans creates transformative, incentive-aligning solutions that leverage a vibrant ocean to support people and nature. By harnessing policy and market-based tools that reward stewardship and sustainable use, our interdisciplinary team of scientists, economists, policy experts,



and practitioners work to revolutionize ocean systems at scale and improve the health of the planet and the lives of billions of people. From advancing ocean-based climate innovations to supporting ocean-reliant communities in building long-term resilience to reforming fisheries management worldwide, we apply rigorous science and pragmatic economics to advance durable policies, market-based tools, and forward-looking strategies that unlock large-scale impact — ensuring a vibrant ocean is the cornerstone of a healthy planet and resilient communities.
