For over two decades, we have connected leading organisations, projects, and people committed to advancing ocean knowledge and sustainability. Our mission is to empower a fairer, more inclusive and ocean-literate future, by ensuring that marine knowledge is accessible, impactful, and used to inform better decisions—locally, nationally, and across Europe.

EurOcean’s strength lies in its network. We unite public and private marine institutions, researchers, communicators, educators, and policy actors who share a commitment to collaboration, Information sharing, and the long-term protection of our ocean. Together, we promote responsible ocean stewardship, guided by scientific evidence, community engagement, and a shared vision for a sustainable blue planet.

What We Stand For

• Information for Impact
  We connect and amplify marine information to support evidence-based policies and societal progress.

• Openness and Inclusion
  We promote open access to data and ensure all actors—from early-career scientists to citizen groups—have a seat at the table.

• Empowering the Next Generation
  Through strategic partnerships and tailored initiatives, we nurture future ocean professionals and champions.

• A Voice for the Ocean
  Our Manifesto calls for stronger ocean literacy, equity, and cooperation in shaping Europe’s ocean agenda.

EurOcean is evolving to meet today’s challenges, with a renewed strategy focused on collaborative foresight, responsible science, inclusive governance, and inspiring action. Whether it’s supporting marine knowledge platforms, running community-driven projects, or coordinating strategic dialogues, we work to keep the ocean at the heart of Europe’s future.
