Barefoot Ocean is dedicated to empowering individuals, small-scale fishing communities, and local governmental and non-governmental organizations with a suite of data tools enabling them to drive positive change in ocean conservation and fisheries management.
At Barefoot Ocean, our approach is to put fishing communities and marine resource managers at the center of their data creating tools that enable them to collect and use information both individually and collectively to drive decision-making and amplify management outcomes. We provide accessible tools and resources to facilitate data sharing, fostering collaborative conservation efforts.
To promote the active involvement and stewardship of local communities in safeguarding their natural resources, we work to remove frustrations and bottlenecks associated with common data challenges including how to collect the data, where to store it, how to analyze it, what it means, and then most importantly how to get that information to a variety of users, within relevant timeframes. We strive to enable organizations, communities, and individuals to invest their time in using information, rather than struggling to generate it.
This inclusive approach ensures that conservation and management initiatives are well-informed and aligned with the needs of both the ecosystem and the local communities.
The open-access technology tools, databases, and code developed by Barefoot Ocean accelerate research and innovation while also supporting sustainable ocean management.
