The Ocean Census is a global alliance accelerating the discovery and protection of ocean life. Despite making up more than 70% of the Earth's surface, there is still much that we do not know. Until now, the process of finding and scientifically describing species has been slow and methodical. The Ocean Census is harnessing the power of technology to discover ocean life at speed and at scale. Over the coming years, scientists from round the world will embark on dozens of expeditions. Species gathered will be sent to a network of Biodiversity Centres to be established in high, middle and low income nations around the world. Our target is to find at least 100,000 new marine species in the first decade. The knowledge gathered will revolutionise our understanding of life on Earth and how to protect the ocean.
