What is Oceanic Global?
Oceanic Global engages new audiences in ocean conservation. The non-profit taps into universal passions to raise awareness for issues impacting our oceans and to provide individual and industry solutions that drive positive change. Oceanic Global takes a uniquely creative approach to conservation, creating immersive experiences that engage local communities, amplify the efforts of synergistic groups, generate measurable impact and ignite global action.
Why We Exist
Our ocean is both the source and the sustainer of all life on earth. It covers over 70 percent of our planet and produces over 70 percent of its oxygen, accounting for more than every other breath we take. 8-12 million metric tons of plastic end up in our ocean every year, and 93% of fisheries are fully fished or depleted. We are predicted to have more plastic in our ocean than fish by 2050! In response, our primary call-to-action is responsible consumption, which we approach at the individual, industry and policy levels.
Where Will the Donations Go?
Donations will benefit The Oceanic Standard Program, which is a set of free industry-specific guides for adopting sustainable practices that meet both business and environmental needs, primarily focused on the elimination of single-use plastics and implementation of responsible waste management practices.
The Oceanic Standard (TOS)
We have published multiple editions for different industries as well as different country-specific editions, which contain relevant policy, waste management infrastructure and vendor information for each region. As we have been growing the program, we now have 250+ venues implementing TOS in 10 countries around the world and have hosted four country-specific launch events (US, Spain, Mexico, Barbados) with one upcoming this Spring in the UK!
Oceanic Global maintains a close relationship with the United Nations, and engages in work to support UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 14: Life Below Water. Additionally, our work through TOS has contributed and supported bills around reducing single-use plastics globally. To-date, our partners include Sandals Resorts International, Marie Claire, M Moser, Salesforce Bryant Park, Brooklyn Bowl, and House of Yes among others.
