Where we prioritise the importance of the ocean in a healthy future and invest in knowledge that supports this ambition. Where we understand that by restoring and protecting our ocean, we all benefit.
We believe that ocean science, data and innovation are needed to engage communities and inform policy. We see Mātauranga Māori, built up through generations of observation, as an invaluable resource, which enhances scientific knowledge.
