Ocean Corps Mission

An inclusive and integrated ocean science community, fueled by multifaceted knowledge and capacity exchange throughout the globe.

Ocean Corps Vision

To facilitate capacity building around the world in ocean science and its application through international exchange with the global community.

Oceanography is a global science and we need partners everywhere to successfully observe and model the global ocean, and to develop solutions for a more sustainable treatment of the ocean.

Ocean Corps will inspire oceanographers to engage the world via capacity development and research collaboration.

Ocean science infrastructure is unequally distributed across the globe. Ocean Corps will create and support existing collaboration with ocean scientists globally to address this.
