Collaboration among leadership companies - and with scientific institutions interested in applied research and innovation - can result in synergies, economies of scale, and public-private partnerships to develop practical solutions to these challenges.
The World Ocean Council (WOC) - the international business alliance on "Corporate Ocean Responsibility" - brings together leadership companies from across the diverse ocean business community to develop industry collaboration in ocean sustainability, science and stewardship. WOC Members include companies from marine science and technology, shipping, fishing, offshore renewable energy, oil/gas, seabed mining, mining, and other sectors - as well as research and scientific "affiliated organization" members.
WOC is catalyzing the development of a multi-industry working groups to address the multiple use of marine space and resources, e.g. marine sound, invasive species, marine debris, the Arctic, marine spatial planning, etc. The WOC "Smart Ocean/Smart Industries" programme is working to scale up the number of companies sharing ocean, weather and climate data from their vessels and platforms.
