“To chart a course towards a thriving ocean –
which is vital to our interconnected wellbeing
– we will propagate ripples of change and
unite them as one regenerative WAVE.”
HRH Princess Reema Bandar Al-Saud
Founder, WAVE
Member of the Board of Trustees, FII Institute
“Our oceans, the heartbeats of our planet, are
gasping under unparalleled threats. As a scuba
diver I can tell that every moment we delay, a
piece of our marine soul withers. Yet, in these
dire times lies a chance – not just to shield
the intricate dance of marine life, but to
embrace the vast promise of a harmonious
blue economy. It’s more than an obligation;
it’s our legacy for the children of tomorrow.”

Our Why
The ocean is vital to the health of our planet, the global
economy, and our collective health. Yet, in recent times,
the ocean has been subjected to increasingly severe
alterations, from rising temperatures and sea levels to
acidification and loss of oxygen. These are taking a toll
on the ocean’s delicate ecosystems and negatively
impacting the rich tapestry of biodiversity it harbors.
These changes have far-reaching consequences on
systems we rely on for our way of life, affecting food
supply, increasing
flood frequency and severity and threatening to displace
hundreds of millions of people from their homes.
Without prompt and concerted action we face mounting
risks that will reverberate throughout our societies and
economies.
It is imperative to unlock collaboration at scale to
regenerate the richness of the ocean for a healthy future
for us all.
