Creating Lasting Ocean Impact

Thank you for your interest in the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). Whether your passion is combatting the climate crisis, conserving and protecting ocean life or equipping the next generation of marine scientists, giving to one of our programmes allows you to have a direct impact on world leading ocean research and innovation.

The ocean holds 97% of Earth’s water and produces over 50% of the oxygen we breathe;

It feeds the world by producing 30% of global protein for 3 billion people every day, and absorbs 93% of excess heat generated by greenhouse warming.

The ocean is essential to life on planet earth and yet we are facing a dramatic decline in ocean health, with human activity affecting sea levels, temperature and the millions of species that call the ocean home.

The NOC is a world leader in oceanographic science, research and innovation. Working in some of the remotest, deepest and most hostile parts of the ocean our scientists bring a greater understanding of issues that affect our environment, our landscapes, our health and our prosperity.

The strong commitment, trust and voice of philanthropists like you can enable our scientists to drive discovery and pursue bold new lines of ocean research in ways other funding types cannot. When you make a significant gift, you will receive regular and bespoke updates showing the global impact of your support. We’ll also invite you to exclusive events that will give you the opportunity to be up close to our world leading science and innovation.
