Ocean Purpose Project aims to introduce the Pasir Ris Bioremediation & Bioplastic Project to solve the algal bloom and plastic pollution crisis via seaweed and mussels aquaculture. Studies have found that seaweed and mussels have the potential to deter algal bloom and sequester carbon; this project aims to plant 50 seaweed and mussel lines both as a bioremediation solution and as as source material for development of an alternative bio-plastic.

SOA Tanzania highlights the importance of seagrass beds and the challenges that they face by training members to conduct seagrass monitoring, raising awareness through ocean literacy initiatives, and utilizing the collected data for the publication of an article. They also plan to remove 2.5 tonnes of waste from the Msimbazi river.

Smart Catch offers a high-speed digital network for data collection and “eyes in the net” from the trawl net to the wheelhouse to the cloud.

This long-term program will improve environmental literacy and reduce illegal practices such as illegal dumping, overfishing, and irresponsible tourism in Vietnam by encouraging stricter policies and a general increase in environmental awareness. The team conducted Interactive educational activities and adapted workshops for local school curricula to fill knowledge gaps. They also developed reef monitoring and research techniques to both generate ecotourism, and to serve as a long-term reef monitoring dataset for local government to use for better Marine Protection Area regulations.

"The Management of Ecosystems Across the Californias" organization conducted research and monitoring to identify rocky reef sites that were best suited for implementation of a kelp forest restoration technique: green gravel. It is a low cost technique involving seeding small rocks with juvenile kelp that will contribute both to ecosystem restoration as well as fishing livelihoods to those dependent on the kelp.

This project will expand a coral nursery for a small scale reef rehabilitation in Southern Sri Lanka as well as train 5 ocean ambassadors to monitor the coral sites. They will also collect marine debris and develop a program for ocean literacy to promote sustainable development and begin implementation in schools in the region as well as conduct teacher trainings.

Land-based solid waste is the biggest contributor to marine litter along the Kenyan coastline. This team's overall goal is to help reduce and promote recycling of marine litter generated on Kenyan beaches for healthy oceans and healthy communities. They will implement a waste management program through beach and river delta clean ups, which will not only reduce the volume of waste in Mombasa's ocean/coast, but also bring economic benefits to the communities by promoting recycling and upcycling.

The project addreses the dual threat of overfishing and climate change to berried females of blue swimming crab in Straits of Tebrau, Gelang Patah, Johor, the Southern Peninsular of Malaysia. This area used to be the prolific spawning ground of the berried females until stocks were depleted in the 2020s.

A project in partnership with the Cameroon Ministry of Environment, Nature, and Sustainable Development to raise awareness among fishermen to improve fishing practices with the aim of conserving the endangered sea turtles. Over 3,000 fishermen in 4 fishing communities took part, including 30 fishermen association leaders who agreed to serve as ambassadors for the project and to continue to spread awareness in their community.
