Empowering Ocean Science for a Sustainable Future
As an independent charity, the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) puts scientific integrity at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to meet the ever-increasing demand for robust scientific evidence and technological innovation to underpin global decisions on climate mitigation and planetary health.
The ocean’s future is all our futures. Which is why we partner with foundations, corporates, DAF holders and nature positive investors globally who share our vision to drive rapid innovation and deliver positive, lasting change.
By contributing to our mission, you will help create trusted knowledge, support evidence-based decision making, help shape policy and enable real-world impact.
Why support NOC's Science and Research Goals?
When you give to NOC, you are:
- Investing in UK research with global impact.
- Helping fight climate change and biodiversity loss.
- Leaving a legacy for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Our philanthropic partners share our vision for a healthy, resilient ocean. Every gift helps deepen our understanding, expand our capabilities and inspire solutions for generations to come.
How your support helps
Your gift enables internationally recognised science that tackles major threats like climate change, ocean pollution and habitat loss, and explores how these challenges affect people and communities.
We push the boundaries of ocean discovery, using cutting-edge technology such as the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Boaty McBoatface to reach new depths, gather vital data and unlock ocean secrets.
Your support nurtures the next generation of ocean scientists and helps us engage and educate people worldwide about the ocean’s importance and the actions needed to protect it.
