Project Zero is a new generation supported by renowned scientists, business leaders, culture makers, campaigners and ocean experts who are all working to awaken the fight to protect and restore the ocean to turn the tide on the climate crisis.

Project Zero has set out to secure a global network of ocean sanctuaries and restore and protect blue carbon ecosystems that will provide resilience to the devastating effects of climate change. Stretching from East Antarctica to the Bering Strait, and mapped out by the world's leading marine scientists, this global network of projects will be able to restore our ocean’s health, and create a sustainable future for life on Earth.

It is estimated that 93% of the earth's CO2 is stored or cycled through the oceans - in fact the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide at a rate of one Hiroshima bomb every single second, every single day, every single year. We need to restore the ocean to health to save our planet.

Ocean sanctuaries are places that allow the ocean to regenerate, mitigating the effects of climate change and helping the ocean regain its power. Fish and invertebrates grow larger and produce many more young in ocean sanctuaries - fish that swim off into other areas of the ocean, securing a global food source that over a billion people rely on daily.

Like national parks in the water, each project in this global network is a place where the ocean can regenerate – and where no one can drill, mine, fish or pollute – a place where the ocean can return to its natural state as an optimally performing, oxygen-producing and carbon dioxide absorbing powerhouse.
