REV Ocean has an ambitious yet simple goal – to ensure ‘One Healthy Ocean’.
The company was established July 20th, 2017 and is funded by Norwegian business-man Kjell Inge Røkke.
Vision: One Healthy Ocean
Mission:
From Curiosity to Understanding to
Solutions
REV Ocean will enable a new generation of ocean solutions and raise awareness of global impacts on the marine environment.
The initiative was started as a result of Mr. Røkke signing the Giving Pledge in 2017, vowing to donate more than 50% of his fortune to philanthropic causes.
The REV Ocean Strategy
The ocean is a dynamic, interconnected global ecosystem that can recover if the negative pressures currently affecting it are dealt with.
We need to improve our understanding of the ocean, get key stakeholders – decision-makers, researchers, business and civil society – aligned with that understanding and turn that knowledge into concrete solutions.
The REV Ocean Science Strategy covers:
- Plastic pollution
- Climate change and ocean acidification
- Overfishing and environmental impacts of fishing
