Together we work on a sustainable ocean

About us

What we stand for

Blue Ocean Future's diverse multidisciplinary team comprises financial, technical, policy, and science leaders. Our team's international origins and experience has been developed through financing and creating companies, NGOs, projects, and policy worldwide. We remain active and committed to the dialogue locally, nationally, and internationally.

Business, as usual, cannot be sustained. Our economies exist in natural ecosystems; they are not separate and apart from them. To solve these problems, we are focusing on the world's most extensive ecosystem the ocean, and coastal systems to address the crisis of biodiversity, climate, and our economic systems.

Blue Ocean Future understands each country and locality is unique and valuable. The Ocean and coasts and their people hold many of the solutions the world needs. We value cutting-edge innovative technology and finance but understand that choice and how it is applied has to be firmly grounded in ethics and values that emerge from the local community but also integrate global data and agreements such as the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Blue Ocean Future works with all stakeholders in protecting and revitalizing the Oceans and coast's natural assets. To this, we are laying the foundation by systematically creating enabling conditions for sustained finance for developing blue economies that have not been previously available at scale.

Meet us at Blue Ocean Future headquarters where Wall St, United Nations, and the dynamic international population, lives next to the Hudson River Estuary. This river flows two ways, just like the collaboration in our engagements. Our team would definitely like to meet you in your community soon to help you take the next steps toward a Blue Ocean Future.
