The core team at Ocean Census displayed a collective drive, focus & passion – totally committed to discovering & understanding ocean life for the betterment of future generations. But Ocean Census was not in this alone. In fact, Ocean Census, was not an individual entity. It is an open network of organisations combining philanthropy, business, government, media & civil society who have a shared purpose to discover & protect ocean life. Key in the delivery was to create a feeling of collaboration, of togetherness, & of needing to be a part of this global initiative.
