Catalyzing industry leadership and collaboration in ocean sustainability, science and stewardship
The WOC brings together ocean industries to address shared environmental concerns, more effectively engage in ocean policy and planning, and develop science-based solutions to cross-cutting environmental challenges that cannot be solved by one company or industry - all in support of responsible business, reduced risk, continued access, and sustainable development. Leadership companies of all sizes are distinguishing themselves by becoming WOC Members and call on others to join them.
