Why support us?

The ocean represents 71% of the earth’s surface and 97% of the space available for life. A true blue lung for the planet, it produces 50% of the Earth’s oxygen – more than all the forests put together – and absorbs 25% of CO2 emissions. The oceans face some of the greatest threats: climate change, acidification, pollution, destruction of habitats and biodiversity, overfishing, etc. There’s an urgent need for action.

Pure Ocean supports scientific projects of excellence, selected by our international Scientific Committee according to exacting criteria. The research projects aim to protect and restore biodiversity and fragile marine ecosystems. We rigorously monitor the impact of funds allocated to projects.
