A message from the president

Our dream for Ocean Arks International is to link projects and people across the globe in a mutually reinforcing whole. Our goal is to undertake landscape and ocean restoration on a larger scale than in the past. We want to demonstrate environmental repair, carbon sequestration, and climate stabilization.

As we venture into 2024 we are permeating the digital landscape. We hope to build community around solution-based ecological systems that benefit both people and our planet. Please join me and follow along our journey by subscribing to the OAI newsletter.

Sincerely,

Dr. John Todd
