about
revive our ocean

Revive Our Ocean is on a mission to accelerate coastal protection globally by inspiring, enabling, and equipping local communities to quadruple current conservation efforts and help protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.

Create new, effective coastal marine protected areas (MPAs) that benefit marine life, people, the economy, and our climate.

OUR GOALS ARE:

Improve existing marine protected areas by ending destructive fishing practices like bottom trawling.

How we work

  • Inspire

    Spark global action for MPAs through compelling storytelling

    Through Ocean with David Attenborough and short films, Revive Our Ocean inspires coastal communities with success stories from around the world.

  • Enable

    Advocate for policy reforms that enable local governments to establish MPAs with communities

    Simplify bureaucratic processes, fast-track proposals, and ensure governance frameworks facilitate equitable and effective coastal protection.

  • Equip

    Provide tools, training, and resources to create economically sustainable MPAs

    With an MPA Handbook, training modules, and a global practitioner network, Revive Our Ocean helps communities create MPAs as conservation businesses that support both marine life and livelihoods.

marine protected areas as Businesses:
Conservation That Pays

Protected areas aren’t just good for the environment—they can be economic engines for local communities.

TOURISM REVENUE: Dive sites, eco-tours, and coastal recreation attract visitors and create jobs.

FISH STOCK RECOVERY: Spillover effects from MPAs replenish fisheries outside their boundaries.

CLIMATE ACTION: Healthy marine ecosystems store carbon and support global climate goals.
