Ocean Health leverages Van Oord’s expertise on large-scale operations in a marine environment, built up over 150 years. Driven by marine ingenuity and our expertise in marine ecosystem restoration, nature-based solutions, and sustainable business development, we aim to accelerate innovation and implementation of scalable climate and biodiversity solutions.
Large scale ocean ecosystem restoration
Let’s turn the tide on climate change and marine biodiversity loss, to create a better world for future generations.
Oceans are vital for life
Oceans are the lungs of our planet - producing more than 50% of the oxygen we breathe, our climate regulator - driving global weather systems, and our sustainable food factory - feeding 3 billion people per day.
However, our oceans are degrading rapidly. We need immediate action to protect and restore them, and we need it to be at scale. Not only for the sake of our oceans, but more than that: we need to act for us, our children and all future generations. With this goal in mind, Van Oord founded Ocean Health.
Ready for global ocean action!
Our three principles
Marine ingenuity
Future-oriented approach
The belief that our actions of today have impact on the generations of tomorrow is embedded in our horizon. We want to leave behind a prosperous and liveable planet, with healthy and thriving oceans for all future generations. To realise this goal, we understand the urgency to act now.
Global business ecosystem
With a mindset that promotes entrepreneurial agility, we develop unique, sustainable and scalable business models. Together with partners and clients worldwide, we target global marine ecosystem restoration to leverage ecosystem services. To achieve this, we connect relevant stakeholders from various disciplines and implement smart-financing models.
