The real ocean story, seen from Asia.
Earth is the only known planet with an ocean. Let us care for it together, from Asia to the world.
Strengthening Asia's voices in ocean conservation
DearOcean is a Seoul-based ocean think tank specialising in ocean literacy education, sustainable seafood research, seafood and ocean ESG consultancy, programme planning and the organisation of seminars.
At the heart of our work is education: helping people understand how the ocean sustains our lives and how their choices shape its future. Working with educational institutions, businesses, civil society and the public sector, we combine research and market insight with consultancy, programme planning and seminars to build a sustainable, transparent and accountable seafood system from Korea and Asia to the world.
