Parley for the Oceans

Parley for the Oceans is a global environmental organization and network dedicated to protecting the oceans by fostering collaboration among creators, thinkers, and leaders. It focuses on raising awareness for ocean fragility and implementing projects to end their destruction. The organization employs a strategic approach termed AIR : Avoid, Intercept, and Redesign : addressing plastic pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss through eco-innovation and practical solutions.

Founded in 2012 by Cyrill Gutsch, Parley for the Oceans originated from the insight that diverse stakeholders needed a common platform to negotiate a truce between humanity and the vital marine ecosystem. Initially conceived as a series of talks, it swiftly evolved into a worldwide movement, mobilizing individuals and organizations to collectively address urgent environmental challenges impacting our planet's most critical resource.

Parley for the Oceans engages a broad network including creative communities, major brands, governmental bodies, and environmental groups. Its mission is to transform human-made materials and systems, aligning them with natural ecosystems, and to inspire greater participation in environmental causes. The organization envisions a future where human lifestyles actively protect and preserve the life-sustaining marine environment.
