Nekton Foundation

We work hand in hand with ocean nations to increase our knowledge of ocean life.

Only 9% of our ocean is a designated MPA (Marine Protected Area), and just 2.5% is fully protected. Nekton works in partnership with ocean nations to support their national conservation priorities, match scientists with vessels to increase access and enable research, and gather data to drive better management of the seas.

Founded by scientists and journalists working together, Nekton uses storytelling to motivate people to take action, including pioneering world first submersible broadcasting technologies and producing award-winning films that have been watched by millions around the world.
