Local Solutions to Global Challenges

Oceans North was founded on a commitment to do conservation differently. From our beginnings in the Arctic over a decade ago, our approach remains focused on partnership and the understanding that we must earn trust and respect daily. This principle animates our work throughout the Arctic, Atlantic, High Seas, and Greenland.

Oceans North has staff throughout Canada and the communities we work with, with main offices in Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Halifax, and additional offices in Nain, Calgary and Vancouver. We have extensive relationships with scientists, natural resource managers, and Indigenous organizations and communities across the North and worldwide. Oceans North is governed by a board of directors.

In Greenland, we also have a sibling organization, Oceans North Kalaallit Nunaat.
