Protecting Our Ocean, Phasing Out Fossil Fuels
The Fossil-Free Ocean Initiative brings together organizations, researchers, communities, and individuals working to protect the ocean from fossil-fuel activities and its devastating impacts, and to promote a just, orderly, and equitable phase out from fossil fuels.
The Fossil-Free Ocean Initiative is working together to protect the ocean from fossil fuel exploration and exploitation and its devastating impacts. We envision a future where our ocean thrives – united in our commitment to halt fossil-fuel activities, preserve marine biodiversity, protect the rights of Indigenous Communities, and safeguard lives and livelihoods of coastal communities. We work to accelerate a just and equitable transition toward a climate-safe future.

Without these commitments, halting climate change and protecting the ocean will remain out of reach.
