Okeanos - Foundation for the Sea

Information about the ocean and its threats is abundant – both online and in print. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with the amount of news and it is more than we can process. We at Okeanos - Foundation for the Sea do not want to focus on the deluge of negative information and the seemingly insurmountable challenges humankind and our surrounding ecosystems are facing. Rather, we are turning our attention to those individuals and communities that are making positive steps to heal our oceans and to reconnect us with the sea, and for this we are also re-focusing our work and communication strategy.

Thus, for us communication via blogs and newsletter distribution, as well as the funding of research projects and workshops has moved to the background. Instead of that we are pursuing another and what we feel better approach: We intend to tell you stories, e.g. of the successful projects of our subsidiary foundation Pacific Voyagers that are already completed, as well as of those exciting new projects they are about to undertake in the Pacific. These are positive and encouraging stories that show that a return to a sustainable and just economy where natural resources are being respected and preserved is possible. Okeanos supports these projects strategically and financially.

For this we are overhauling our existing website at the moment. Shortly you will be able to read here all about our projects and new ventures in the Pacific.
