Replicating Ocean
Success Globally
Just as the ocean sustains life on Earth, water sustains every part of our being, reminding us of our deep, intrinsic connection to the blue planet. The planet and humans are 70% water and our ocean is the unsung climate hero we have neglected for too long. So, we are building the missing blueprint to globally replicate and scale the solutions that work on land and at sea. People are at the heart of the blue transition and that's exactly where we are starting.
Okhtapus is the first Global Replication Platform(™) powered by a global network and marketplace, for a range of blue climate solutions in the ocean, contributing waterways, coastal areas, and the communities that are part of these ecosystems.
We designed our way in, we can design our way out
We unite innovators, funders, and enablers - what we refer to as the three hearts of the Okhtapus - to foster resilient and equitable oceans for the future. We do this through validation, matching, ecosystem building and storytelling for rapid connection, funding, and holistic, regenerative partnerships and replication. We presently focus on 200 meters inland and 200 meters out to sea along coastlines, though we often have projects and solutions uniting much further afield inland and out from the shore. The ocean starts in our homes, in our cities and communities, and protecting it also needs action both on land and at sea.

Out of sight but not out of mind
The ocean is our largest global commons, but it and the contributing waterways around the world often fall victim to 'out of sight, out of mind’ and their resilience is at a tipping point. This needs our full attention.
The Ocean Is...
The Planet’s Life Support
The ocean is life support for people and the planet, producing oxygen, regulating climate, absorbing carbon and heat, driving the water cycle, and sustaining biodiversity and human livelihoods.
Our Climate Champion
The ocean absorbs about 31% of the carbon dioxide emissions from human activity and holds 60 times more carbon than the atmosphere.
A Biodiversity Booster
Oceans are home to an enormous diversity of life. Ocean biodiversity provides food security, medicine, jobs and livelihoods for billions of people.
Human Health
Ocean health is human health, as it regulates climate, provides food, supports biodiversity, and sustains livelihoods, while threats like pollution and overfishing endanger our well-being.
The Foundation of a Regenerative Economy
The ocean economy is human prosperity, driving sustainable growth, creating jobs, and supporting coastal livelihoods
Vital for Communities
Around 40% of the global population lives within 100 km of coastlines, with many vulnerable communities relying on the ocean for livelihoods, food security, and climate resilience.
We pride ourselves on collaborating with partners to drive impactful climate solutions and sustainable change
Time is up!
Now more than ever the ocean and all the contributing waterways need us to urgently act to prevent these remarkable functions from being overwhelmed and pushing the tipping points even further.
Join Okhtapus in building our Global Replication Platform and marketplace and network to take action today.
