Pioneers for a Sustainable Ocean
As a Think, Do, and Innovate-Tank, Ocean Policy Research Institute (OPRI) takes a comprehensive view on a wide range of ocean-related issues, analyzing challenges through a scientific approach that integrates the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities. We propose feasible strategies to serve as reference for policymakers in the international community and strive to engender an environment conducive to making these policies a reality. At OPRI, we are committed to using policy research approaches to assist in resolving the myriad marine challenges we face and help establish a new ocean governance so that we may ensure future generations can enjoy healthy waters for years to come.
