The Sea Connects All Things

THE WORLD OCEAN OBSERVATORY is an Internet-based place of exchange for ocean information, educational services, and public discourse about the ocean defined as an "integrated, global, social system," thereby relating the ocean to climate, biodiversity, fresh water, food, energy, human health, trade, transportation, policy, governance, finance, coastal development, and cultural traditions.

W2O provides comprehensive links to ocean issues and organizations through its news service, monthly letter, directory, catalogue of on-line resources, and interactive events focused on specific ocean questions and providing responsible science and information to institutions, experts, students and teachers, and curious citizens around the world.

W2O advocates through communications, building public awareness and political will for ocean sustainability through international networks, partnerships, organizations, educators, and individuals. Please join us. 

The World Ocean Observatory brings to the Foundation a new, dynamic communications system and place of exchange for ocean information, education and public discourse, which can serve as an innovative model for environmental education and the demonstration of conservation practice worldwide.  Click here to visit the W2O website:
