Hi all,
I learned about a new player in the BlueTech ecosystem. Work On Ocean. It’s an awesome project coming on the scene from a Climatebase fellowship. If you read BlueX, you’re going to like WOO.
Work On Ocean features three key components:
650+ organizations working on climate and ocean solutions (Including BlueX of course)
Glossary to learn about ocean climate solutions
Resources & media list to dive deeper
They are just getting started, but I firmly believe the team is going to do great things! Check them out!
