OceanEarth Foundation and Ocean Youth join forces.

As of April this year, Ocean Youth has merged with OceanEarth Foundation to build upon the 9 amazing years that we’ve been supporting and building the capacity of young people to engage with ocean health and innovation.

We’re thrilled with our new partnership and have some amazing plans in place on the back of our first Ocean Youth Summit at Australian National Maritime Museum in April of this year.

OceanEarth Foundation takes a systems-thinking approach to program development – considering the needs of the natural environment and the communities, who live and work with it. Engaging deeply to each community to truly understand the complexity of their challenges and their needs. Central to OceanEarth Foundation ethos is the unwavering belief that prioritising community needs is the cornerstone to achieving lasting solutions.

By working together, we can help co-create solutions that build social and environmental resilience. We recognise that social change often serves as a pivotal catalyst for achieving sustainable environmental outcome; these two facets are inextricably intertwined but through a respectful co-operative relationship, both can thrive.
