At Ocean Nexus, our mission is to establish social equity at the center of ocean governance.

Transformational change begins with understanding how our relationship with the ocean deeply affects social justice and equity. Guided by principles of equity and justice, we connect scholars worldwide to share stories centered around historically marginalized perspectives. Researching the interconnections between inequities unique to each context and understanding the governance of the oceans is core to our ocean equity research and communications strategy. Our work holds powerful interests accountable for the consequences of systemic inequities. At Ocean Nexus, we aspire to create equitable oceans for humanity.
