Our Alliance

The Ocean Census is made possible as a result of a growing Alliance that connects philanthropy with government, business, science, media and civil society organisations.

Every one of our partnerships brings us closer to our goal and enriches our mission by adding diverse knowledge, resources, data and perspectives.

The more we collaborate to share resources and knowledge, the more we can achieve. There’s lots of flexibility in the ways you can partner with us and your contribution could be the key to unlocking the next big discovery.

If you share our passion for the discovery and protection of ocean life, join us.

We work closely with members of our Alliance to manage funding, coordinate activities and oversee our core programmes including expeditions, the Ocean Census Science Network, and media activity.

Our success relies on the cooperation of partners across a wide variety of disciplines including expeditions, cyber-taxonomy, data management, curation, media, operations, and capacity building.

Our long-term goal is to enable the establishment of Biodiversity Centres in high, middle and low income countries with partner institutions in order to facilitate an equitable network globally.
