Live Ocean Foundation was established by sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke in 2019 to help scale up action for a healthy ocean.

Live Ocean Foundation supports exceptional marine scientists, innovators and communicators who play a vital role in the mission for a healthy ocean and a healthy future.

Our greatest ally in the fight against climate change, a healthy ocean is vital for a healthy future.

But it’s at a tipping point, with many of the issues it faces hidden below the surface. As home to the fourth largest ocean space on the planet, Aotearoa New Zealand has a special role to play as guardians to protect it for future generations.
