Governance

“10% for the Ocean is a declaration of large-scale intentional action for the ocean. As a sailor, adventurer and nature-lover, I am both in awe of its immense scale and power, and feel a deep sense of urgency to restore and protect it for my children and generations to come.

As an entrepreneur, I recognise that systemic change demands more than strategy - it demands courage. We must cast aside fear and being overwhelmed by the scale of the issues facing us, and embrace uncertainty as the opportunity to push the boundaries of what’s possible with unwavering determination.

Now, with world-class environmental partners, bold backers, and an exceptional team, 10% for the Ocean stands at the forefront to remove obstacles to secure the living foundation that sustains us. I am personally fully committed to achieve this.

If you share our ethics, our approach, and our resolve to save the ocean, I want to work with you.”
