About us
A team of experts that establishes large-scale marine ecosystem restoration projects, united by a shared passion for our oceans
The origination of Ocean Health
In 2020 Ocean Health was founded as an initiative by Van Oord, to move from pledges about biodiversity and climate action towards tangible actions. Our mission is to protect and restore marine ecosystems at scale. To realise our mission, we build upon Van Oord’s 150+ years of marine ingenuity to implement innovative, nature-based solutions and launch sustainable business models. To maximise impact, we seek cross-sector collaborations. We believe oceans are our best, and maybe most underestimated, ally in realising global climate and biodiversity ambitions!
