Science

Tracking animals leads us to ‘Critical Habitats’.

These are the important places worth protecting, immediately.

For 18 years we have supported projects following marine apex predators to the places most crucial for ocean health.

2.9% of our ocean is currently protected.

We need to locate more critical habitats, fast.

Marine Reserves

Marine Protected Areas, when done right, allow these ‘critical habitats’ to heal.

Fish spill over into adjacent oceans.

We support marine reserves globally through outreach, education & travel.

Marine Reserves mean more food for more people.

People

We need a workforce to share, protect, fix, administer, promote & implement better & more solutions.

Our RockHopper Academy trains these Ocean Champions.

Skills and qualifications mean more people working for the ocean.
