We believe in a balanced and fair approach to ocean governance that takes into account the needs of individual sectors, benefits to people, responsible use, biodiversity and conservation.
“We set up Opes Oceani because good ocean governance will only happen if the global regulatory process is visible and widely understood.”
Our customers are businesses, non-governmental organizations, government agencies and research bodies with interests in the future of the oceans. We are located in the United States, New Zealand, Switzerland and Panama, with global partners in France and South Africa and a network of experts around the world.
“We built this network of expertise because there was nowhere anyone could go to understand how marine global governance will impact them in the future.”
Keep informed and up to date with influences and changes in the ocean sector.
Benefit from cooperative efforts and consensus-based solutions.
Educate yourself and others with access to our workshops, seminars and conferences.
Grow your business responsibly with best practice and governance.
