ELI Ocean Council

The Ocean Program at ELI focuses on cooperating with institutions and countries to shape a legal framework that promotes long-term conservation of the marine environment and a sustainable, transparent, and inclusive use of ocean wealth. In that process, the ELI Ocean Program has created an expert Advisory Board, the ELI Ocean Council. The ELI Ocean Council is an international group of ocean resources management experts that helps ELI attorneys keep their efforts focused on key ocean governance topics.
