What drives the German Ocean Foundation
The ocean gives us every other breath, food and a largely still unknown wealth of biodiversity. Our survival depends on the ocean, so we must treat it with the utmost care. To support ocean conservation and sustainability, stakeholders from a wide array of industries and sectors must pull together. This is where the foundation contributes; its key role is to moderate a dialogue on sustainable ocean management between representatives of environmental policy, natural resources, science and education, environmental protection, and culture as well as the shipping, fisheries, tourism, and sports industries.
