The data generated from Mapping Ocean Wealth’s science and modelling efforts can be used to help inform decisions and set priorities. Modeled results are translated into freely-available, interactive tools, such as maps and calculators, which can be used to inform decision-making and priority setting at a variety of geographic scales.

Informed by science, communications and policy work, Mapping Ocean Wealth visualizes in quantitative terms all that the ocean does for us today, so that we make smarter investments and decisions for the ocean of tomorrow.
A global partnership of scientists, policy practitioners and financial experts launched Mapping Ocean Wealth in January 2014. Led by The Nature Conservancy, this effort was conceptualized and incubated in partnership with The World Bank and is mapping the world’s vast ocean wealth in all its many forms and changing conservation and development policies and practices in the process through an understanding of how and where ocean wealth is generated and valued.
We need your voice and ideas to help us grow our work, there are a number of ways you can get involved.
