Live Ocean Foundation

Live Ocean is a New Zealand marine conservation charity, founded in 2019 by Olympic sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke. The foundation works across science, innovation and advocacy to support a healthy ocean, partnering with researchers to fund work spanning marine ecosystem protection, blue carbon initiatives, endangered species monitoring and ocean literacy. It uses the platform of sport to raise awareness of ocean health on a global scale.
