Funding policy-relevant marine research concerning the world’s oceans and communicating the results.
About us
About the Lenfest Ocean Program: For more than a decade, the Lenfest Ocean Program has supported peer-reviewed scientific research that informs decisions about the world’s oceans. Our research grants produce impacts far beyond their dollar amounts, generating adaptive recommendations, seeding innovation, and empowering people with information. Our Approach to Grant Making: Our grant-making process begins with investing substantial time into engaging with policymakers, managers, and stakeholders. We seek to better understand their information needs and to identify the research gaps that impede their decisions. Through this process, we are able to target research questions squarely focused on the most important ocean policy and management questions. Next, we engage leading researchers to develop rigorous projects that answer those questions. These projects may be led by a single researcher or by interdisciplinary research teams, depending on the research questions and scientific methods, and they may address issues at the regional, national, or international scale. Connecting Science and Decision-Making: To sustain the connection with policy and management, we continue to involve decision-makers and stakeholders throughout the life of projects. This ensures the researchers stay focused on policy-relevant questions and approaches, and can adjust to any shifts in the policy landscape. And congruently, decision-makers are able to respond to scientific results as they emerge. Through our work, we have become internationally recognized leaders in a range of practices that enhance the usability, relevance and dissemination of scientific research. We continue to adapt and refine these practices, so that our solutions keep pace with the mounting challenges facing the oceans.

The Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary has just been designated – a groundbreaking moment for conservation and Indigenous leadership. This 4,543-square-mile sanctuary off California's Central Coast will be co-managed with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, preserving cultural heritage and safeguarding vital marine ecosystems. This partnership exemplifies the power of collaborative stewardship, blending Indigenous knowledge with modern conservation science. https://lnkd.in/gstgQg9u

Wonderful blog by Kayla Ripple! If you’re at #IMCC7, join us tomorrow in Watsonia at 3:30 to discuss the partnerships necessary to manage MPAs in a changing climate.
How can we adapt to the shifting marine conditions brought by climate change? In Senegal & Kenya, two projects are bridging the gap between academic research & local expertise to address this challenge. From advanced climate modeling to hands-on community engagement, these projects are leading the way toward climate-resilient MPAs. https://buff.ly/4eviPoG #MPAs #ClimateChange #MarineManagement
