VISION
LEGAL
LAWYERS FOR THE OCEAN
Our mission is to save the Ocean through law.
Ocean Vision Legal is the first law firm worldwide entirely specialising in Ocean Protection. Our female led and organised power house focuses on the enforcement of existing obligations to protect the marine environment through Ocean Litigation and advocacy for new laws, to provide better protection standards for the Ocean through Ocean Rights and Ecocide law. ​We exclusively work together with States, NGOs, philanthropists, Indigenous peoples, civil society groups, and any individual Ocean champion and defender on public interest cases.
OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to safeguard the Ocean through Law. We do so by holding State and other actors accountable for their actions (Ocean Litigation), offering legal expertise to organisations, people and communities whose livelihoods depend on a healthy Ocean and championing legislation that recognises the Ocean Rights and Ecocide law.
OUR VISION
We aspire to be the leading law firm driving a Paradigm Shift in which people recognise Nature as an entity with intrinsic values worthy of protection in itself, rather than a resource for human benefit – a Paradigm Shift that is vital to foster a global community that values, respects, and protects the Ocean for the sake of present and future generations of all life on the planet.
EXPERTISE & SERVICES
Ocean Vision Legal solidly stands on two legs:
By enforcing them in Court, we hold actors (States & companies) accountable for their marine protection obligations.
We champion establishing ground-breaking legislation that recognises the legal Rights of the natural World (Rights of Nature & Ecocide).
'States have the obligation to protect and preserve the marine environment.'
(Art. 192 of the 1982 UN Convention for the Law of the Sea)
KNOWLEDGE
HUB
Education is a fundamental factor for the implementation of effective and long-lasting environmental protection measures. ​We are committed to empower communities, contribute to capacity building and inspire the next generation of Ocean defenders by sharing pro bono workshops, lectures and free educational resources.
