Women4Oceans

W40 is a project of The Oceans and Us

We need a healthy ocean to survive, 
we need to be inclusive to satisfy this need

Women4Oceans, a project of The Ocean and Us, is an ever-evolving concept designed to benefit ocean health through women's empowerment and the feminine perspective. 
It is a step towards better representation and inclusivity. It also serves as a great networking tool, as women working on shared topics, or in the same location can find each other.

To turn things around we must change​
our relationship with the ocean   ​
and rediscover our place in the
​natural world. 
​Over-fishing, destructive legal and illegal fishing, climate change, pollution, poaching of endangered species, the emerging threat of deep-sea mining and many other deplorable practices are taking their toll on the ocean.
​
W4O recognizes diversity as a key driver for this change. In particular W4O elevates the feminine perspective in the ocean space and the need for all voices to be heard. ​
This unique approach offers new solutions by considering the collective, innate, undiscovered and future value of the ocean.
