Our ocean is in crisis.
But together, through marine protected areas, we can revive it.

Marine Protected Areas
Conservation and Economic Prosperity Go Hand in Hand
Overfished, warmed, polluted — our life support system is in peril. But if we act now, together, we can restore ocean life and the livelihoods that depend on it.
Revive Our Ocean helps to scale coastal protection and design marine protected areas (MPAs) as regenerative businesses, proving conservation yields economic prosperity.
Built on three pillars — Inspire, Enable, and Equip — Revive Our Ocean unites a leading collective, providing local communities with the tools and resources to create and sustain effective MPAs.
By achieving the global commitment of protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030, we rechart humanity’s course

70% of marine biodiversity is in coastal waters

40% of us live on coastlines, securing the livelihoods of almost half of humanity

3 billion of us eat food from the ocean
