One Ocean Foundation (OOF), founded in March 2018, is an Italian initiative of international relevance for the protection of the ocean. The Foundation’s mission is to accelerate solutions to ocean issues by inspiring international leaders, companies, institutions and individuals; promoting a sustainable blue economy and spreading knowledge on marine ecosystems through ocean literacy. The Foundation’s aim is to become an active platform capable of bringing together and consolidating all the realities operating for the protection of the ocean in various parts of the world. The distinctive element of One Ocean Foundation is represented by an important network of partner companies, a scientific committee of international relevance and, at the same time, a strong commitment to raise awareness among the new generations. Thanks to its partners, One Ocean Foundation is engaged in multiple projects and activities related to its mission divided into three macro areas: blue economy, education and environmental. Our code of ethics is the Charta Smeralda, an innovative document developed by our Scientific Committee, accessible through the website www.1ocean.org that guides individuals and organizations towards behaviors that respect the marine environment.
