Ocean Outcomes works to create new and innovative ways to finance the transition to sustainable fisheries. This includes examining the feasibility of a Sustainable Seafood Fund and advancing a business-driven, triple bottom line approach to the challenges facing many of the world’s small scale fishers. This approach focuses on harnessing untapped financing and increasing profitability in small scale fishing enterprises to improve livelihoods and ecosystem health; creating a positive feedback loop for people, planet and profit. They are active in the USA, China, UK, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and Spain.

A global conservation organization, Ocean Wise operates an number of programmes involving research and education regarding the threats facing the oceans, such as Ocean Wise Seafood which is a sustainable seafood program, Sea forestation which involves restoring, planting, managing and caring for underwater seaweed forests, their Cleanup programme and plastic pollution initiative, marine research and education

The One Ocean Hub is a global consortium of researchers aiming to bridge the disconnect between law, science, policy and art to support sustainable management of the marine environment. Lasting 2019-2024 and funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF), the intention is to inform aid strategies and research in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Hub is focusing its efforts on addressing issues in South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, Fiji and The Solomon Islands. These are all developing nations which rely heavily on the ocean for resources to meet their economic development goals, thus sustainable fishing is a significant part of the programme.
