Mission

We envision a future with healthy aquatic ecosystems, a plentiful and profitable wild seafood supply, and thriving fishing communities.

We cultivate deep relationships with fishermen, seafood buyers, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations to uncover and implement local solutions to systems level problems in globally significant fisheries.

Small-Scale Fisheries

Small in scale, big in value -

Small-scale fisheries provide livelihoods for millions, food for billions and are an integral part of local coastal communities, their economies and the fulcrum around which any coastal conservation and development initiatives must operate. However, despite their collective significance, the needs of small-scale fisheries and their stakeholders have generally been underserved and underrepresented in both the global seafood environment and movement.

In addition to disenfranchisement, small-scale fisheries face a myriad socioeconomic and environmental challenges, such as low prices, unfair competition, a lack of markets and cold chain access, climate change and evolving fish stock competitions and ranges. To ensure food security, thriving local livelihoods and durable conservation outcomes, we are working to identify the needs of small-scale fisheries and their stakeholders and developing tools, approaches and partnerships for addressing these needs.

Population(s) Served

We are working with the world's largest tuna companies and leading tuna stakeholders globally to transform tuna and high seas fishing.

We do this through developing and implementing projects using new tools and technologies which reduce environmental impact, improve catching sector accountability and support the transition to best practice, science-based management strategies. Our partnerships with some of the world's largest tuna companies, on the ground capacity in core Northeast Asian tuna producing regions and a team of experienced fishery scientists uniquely positions Ocean Outcomes to effectively drive forward grassroots projects from the bottom-up, connecting that work with top-down investments in reform. Our expanding portfolio of tuna work has already brought a significant percentage of longline tuna vessels into projects working towards improved practices for the first time.

Ocean Outcomes is a contributing member of the NGO Tuna Forum.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
