The Atlantic Space we WANT! An Ocean Fit for Purpose, Where Humanity can Live Harmoniously with Nature
"751.Atlantic: Governing an Ocean that Connects Four Continents.
​Our work spans three connected areas:
Strategy and Project Development
"We identify and structure investable opportunities across ocean finance, sustainable ports, maritime trade, coastal adaptation, fisheries, and aquaculture."
Climate Finance Preparation
"We prepare the accreditation documents, concept notes, and funding proposals governments and institutions need to unlock climate finance."
Implementation and Impact
"We build monitoring, evaluation, and reporting systems that track real environmental, social, and economic outcomes."We develop monitoring, evaluation and reporting frameworks to measure environmental, social and economic outcomes throughout implementation.
Our Blue Economy Approach
Our Blue Economy Approach
​
751.Atlantic works with governments, institutions, investors, and coastal communities to build ocean economies that are productive, resilient, and fair. We see the ocean not as a collection of separate sectors, but as one living system where healthy ecosystems, secure livelihoods, modern infrastructure, and economic opportunity must reinforce one another.
​
Where national Blue Economy strategies and roadmaps already exist, we help turn them into investable project pipelines, governance systems, financing structures, and measurable delivery plans. Where they do not yet exist, we work with national partners to create them, grounded in international law, Sustainable Development Goal 14, and the practical realities of coastal development.
​
Our approach is built around five connected commitments: to govern the ocean, grow sustainable value, protect natural capital, finance the transition, and deliver measurable results.
This is how 751.Atlantic moves from ambition to action across the Atlantic basin.
​
“From Strategy to Delivery”
-
Translating international commitments into national priorities
-
Translating national priorities into projects and investment pipelines
-
Translating investment into monitored, locally owned outcomes
Regional Leadership
751.Atlantic is the ocean and Blue Economy platform within the 751.Earth family, helping governments, institutions, and coastal communities turn ocean ambition into governed, financed, and delivered outcomes across the Atlantic basin.
​
We work by invitation, alongside national authorities, regional bodies, development finance institutions, and local partners, providing the technical expertise, programme design, and monitoring and evaluation capability needed to move Blue Economy strategies from paper to practice.
Where a country already has a Blue Economy strategy or roadmap, our leadership role is to help structure it into an investable programme, build the institutional and financing architecture around it, and deliver against agreed international standards. Where no strategy yet exists, we lead the process of building one, grounded in national priorities, international law, and the practical realities of coastal life.
​
How We Work
-
Design: Climate resilient, finance-ready Blue Economy Programmes, built around each country's own priorities
-
Mobilise: Public, private, and concessional capital, structured for long-term delivery, not one-off grants
-
Deliver: Technical implementation, local capacity building, and hands-on programme management
-
Prove: Independent monitoring, evaluation, safeguards, and transparent results reporting​​
A Personal Commitment
751.Atlantic's regional leadership is anchored by our founder's role as International Ambassador for the Africa Blue Economy Roundtable, reflecting a personal and professional commitment to the region that goes beyond a single project or programme.

WHAT DRIVES US
Healthy oceans power climate, communities and economies.
What Drives Us 751.Atlantic operates at the intersection of binding international law and a rapidly closing window for ocean action, translating global governance commitments into projects that governments and investors can actually finance and deliver. The Legal Architecture We Build On The ocean is no longer governed by aspiration alone. The BBNJ Agreement, the "High Seas Treaty," entered into legal force on 17 January 2026 after ratification by over 60 states, creating for the first time a binding framework to protect marine biodiversity across the roughly two-thirds of the ocean that lies beyond any nation's jurisdiction. This sits alongside the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, UNCLOS, which has underpinned ocean governance since 1982, and the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, which entered into force alongside BBNJ in 2026 to curb the subsidies driving overfishing worldwide. For 751.Atlantic, this legal architecture isn't background context, it's the framework every project is designed to operate within and help fulfil, giving governments and financiers confidence that our work is aligned with binding, not voluntary, international commitments. SDG 14, Made Operational Sustainable Development Goal 14, Life Below Water, sets ten specific targets covering marine pollution, ecosystem protection, ocean acidification, overfishing, and the protection of at least 10% of coastal and marine areas. Global progress is real but partial: ocean protection has now surpassed 10% coverage worldwide, and small-scale artisanal fisheries support (Target 14.b) is currently the only SDG 14 target on track globally, a signal that community-level, locally-led interventions, not just top-down conservation, are where the fastest measurable progress is happening. 751.Atlantic's regional programmes, from maritime enforcement networks to coastal resilience planning, are built specifically to move the needle on the targets still lagging, marine spatial planning, pollution reduction, and ecosystem restoration, rather than treating SDG 14 as a slogan. Why This Matters to Investors and Governments For institutional partners, this legal and policy architecture is the difference between a feel-good ocean initiative and an investable one. Projects aligned with BBNJ, UNCLOS, and SDG 14 targets carry a credibility and regulatory tailwind that translates directly into access to concessional climate finance, multilateral co-financing, and Article 6 carbon markets, exactly the financing pathways 751.Atlantic's project pipeline is structured around. Why This Matters to Everyone Else Strip away the treaty names, and the story is simple: nearly half the planet's surface has just gained real legal protection for the first time in history, and the ocean that connects four continents is finally being governed as the shared, living system it always was. 751.Atlantic exists to make sure that protection turns into real projects, real jobs, and real resilience for the coastal communities who depend on the ocean most.
THE ATLANTIC IMPERATIVE
The Atlantic isn't a backdrop for 751.Atlantic's work, it's the operating system. It connects four continents, carries a disproportionate share of global trade, and is warming and acidifying faster than governance structures were ever designed to handle, which is exactly the gap 751.Atlantic exists to close.
​
Why the Atlantic, Specifically
The Atlantic basin concentrates a unique combination of pressure and opportunity: the Gulf of Guinea alone loses an estimated 2.66 million tonnes of unreported fish catch a year to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, prosecution rates for maritime crime across the region sit under 5%, and coastal erosion along West Africa's shoreline is now averaging close to 4 metres a year in the Niger Delta. At the same time, the Atlantic's port cities, from Tema to Lagos to the Niger Delta, are where Africa's industrial and energy transition will either succeed or stall, since these corridors carry the refineries, ports, and manufacturing zones that decide whether decarbonisation happens at scale or not at all. This is not an abstract climate story. It's a live, quantifiable governance and infrastructure gap, and it's exactly where concessional finance, technical capacity, and institutional partnership can move fastest.
​
What 751.Atlantic Is Actually Doing
Rather than treating ocean governance as a policy paper exercise, 751.Atlantic is currently structuring and co-executing four live, GCF grade programmes across the basin:
​
-
AMSSA Climate-Resilient Blue Economy and Maritime Governance Platform: a 15-state pilot spanning the Gulf of Guinea and East/Southern Africa, building maritime information systems, port climate adaptation, fisheries crime enforcement, and marine spatial planning, with an estimated 1.9 million direct beneficiaries and 480,000 tCO2e in lifetime mitigation impact.
-
ALIEN, the African Led Interoperable Enforcement Network: a USD 4 million anti-IUU fishing enforcement component under AMSSA, linking judicial and law enforcement partners across Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Somalia, Djibouti, and Kenya into a single interoperable data-sharing architecture.
-
The Niger Delta Basin Programme: a USD 19.73 million integrated spatial planning and ecosystem restoration proposal covering Africa's largest wetland system, delivering an early warning system for 300,000 people and a legally-adopted Marine Spatial Plan for a basin of over 30 million residents.
-
Tema Industrial Decarbonisation Programme: a USD 391.5 million programme deploying waste-heat recovery, solar, and West Africa's first Advanced Geothermal System across Ghana's Atlantic industrial corridor, targeting 8 to 10.5 million tCO2e abated over 20 years.
​​
The Point
Each of these programmes is structured the same way: grounded in binding international frameworks, costed and financeable through concessional and blended capital, and built with a clear institutional governance chain, national authority, accredited entity, executing partner, so that ocean governance stops being a talking point and becomes a funded, delivered outcome. That's the Atlantic Imperative in practice, not the ocean as a subject to study, but as a system 751.Atlantic is actively rebuilding, project by project.
​
Turning Atlantic Ambition into Finance-Ready Action
​
The Blue Economy strategies, treaties, and targets already exist. What's missing in most cases is the bridge between ambition and delivery, the technical structuring, financing pathway, and implementation capacity that turns a strategy into a funded programme. That bridge is what 751.Atlantic builds.
​
Whether you're a government ready to develop,implement or activate a Blue Economy roadmap, an institution seeking a delivery partner, or an investor looking for finance-ready ocean projects, there's a direct path to start that conversation.
