Introducing Ocean Central: The Platform for Tracking and Advancing Ocean Health - Ocean Central

Offering a clear, evolving view of ocean health, the platform serves as a catalyst for action by highlighting successes, identifying opportunities, and building a shared understanding of ocean health.

Data-Driven Insights to Regenerate the Ocean by 2050

Ocean Central integrates global targets from the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and the Paris Agreement. By monitoring progress toward ocean goals, the platform highlights successful initiatives and exposes critical knowledge gaps, enabling us to collectively focus efforts on regenerating the ocean by 2050.

Filling Data Gaps for Strategic Action

Advances in technology and data science have enhanced our ability to monitor key aspects of ocean health, from biodiversity to coastal preservation. Yet despite significant progress, ocean data remains incomplete. The future of ocean regeneration hinges on closing these gaps with better, more accurate data, enabling us to allocate resources more strategically and make informed decisions that protect marine environments.

Explore, Track, and Connect

At Ocean Central, we believe that understanding the complexities of the ocean is the first step in restoring it. The platform offers four key ways to engage:

• Explore: Discover the challenges facing our ocean, the pressures it endures, and solutions for its regeneration.
• Track: Navigate data to uncover opportunities, learn from successes, and identify areas requiring attention.
• Connect: Contribute insights and collaborate on data-driven projects with global partners.
• Stories: Explore content that breaks down complex information with visual analysis, personal stories, and insights to deepen understanding of the ocean.

Join the Collective Effort

Ocean Central is a dynamic, evolving platform shaped by contributions from data partners, researchers, business leaders, and community members. We invite you to join us in shaping the future of ocean health. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward a thriving ocean.

Ocean Central is developed by Wave, a collective action-led ocean regeneration initiative from the FII Institute. Founded by FII Board Member H.R.H. Ambassador Reema Bandar Al-Saud, Wave is guided by its chief experts: H.R.H. Prince Sultan bin Fahd bin Salman Al Saud, Alexandra Cousteau, Professor Carlos Duarte, and Dr. Ralph Chami. Wave partners with private, public, and not-for-profit organizations to achieve its goal of ocean regeneration within a human generation.
