OceanCare

For healthy living oceans

#oceancare

We are committed to protecting the oceans and marine animals.

What drives OceanCare

We share the Earth with countless marine inhabitants - from tiny organisms to the largest creatures on the planet. The Swiss marine conservation organization has been advocating for the protection of the oceans and their inhabitants since 1989, holding UN special advisor on marine issues. OceanCare has been raising its voice on behalf of marine life since 1989. The international marine conservation organisation, based in Switzerland, holds Special Consultative Status with UN ECOSOC and contributes to Agenda 2030 and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

What OceanCare has going on in 2025

A healthy and resilient ocean is essential for all life on earth. However, the ecological balance in the ocean is becoming increasingly unbalanced - and our help is needed more urgently than ever. With the international campaign Because Our Planet Is Blue, OceanCare is calling on governments around the world to stop the destruction of the ocean with concrete and binding measures at the UN Ocean Conference in June 2025, so that ocean ecosystems, including their fauna and flora, can regenerate.
