Global, Collaborative + Unbiased Conservation
On December 16, 2015, Project 0 and AEG are
bringing together a unique gathering of music
acts at Scala in London to kick off a global
movement to restore the ocean.
Project 0 has teamed with ocean conservation
organizations around the world to make real,
rapid change to ocean health. Proceeds from
this show will fund three important conservation
projects and kick off a broad range of activities
around the planet.
The world doesn't need more conformists.
If you don't fit in, celebrate that, and then
get ready to stand your ground.
— Laird Hamilton
Project 0 Ambassador
What is
?
Many conservation organizations have started
great projects to protect the ocean.
Project 0 wants to complete them.
So we’re giving the support and funds
necessary – not to start new projects – but
to finish the job to complete existing ones.
We are going for
Zero Unprotected
Zero Underfunded
Zero Overfishing
Zero Pollution
Zero Excuses

What
Does
DISRUPT
today's status-quo and create a global movement to ignite awareness,
drive new behaviors and deliver large scale funding to complete
projects around the world.
Protect
Increase Marine Protected
Areas from a mere 2% today
to 10% by 2020 and 20% by
2030.
Sustain
Fund the existing work
of conservation partners
worldwide to secure
Marine Protected Areas
in perpetuity.
Measure
Increase the Ocean Health
Index score by 10 points in
areas where we work, and
5 points globally over the
next 10 years.
The Project 0 Manifesto
The ocean is in crisis.
So many are trying to answer the call, starting countless projects and dedicating
immeasurable effort to restore, to nurture, to protect. But too often the best of
starts outgrow the resources available and never get finished.
Well, we won’t stand for it. Not anymore.
Not for a moment longer. We want to finish it all. Now.
We are Project 0 and we’re giving the support and funds necessary,
not to start new projects, but to complete existing ones.
We are engaging the passion, the people and the organizations who started them,
and giving them what’s needed to finish what they have started.
We’re going for zero underfunded and unprotected, zero pollution,
zero misuse or abuse, zero dead zones, zero “why does it matter?”
or “I don’t know what to do,” and zero excuses.
That’s what we want, that’s what we’ll do.
But we can’t do it alone.
Project Zero.

Benefits of
Marine Protected Areas
Marine Protected Areas provide a healthier habitat and more diverse life than
unprotected areas. These healthy, intact ecosystems become even more important
as the ocean is stressed by climate change and ocean acidification.

With well-designed and managed marine protected areas, and especially networks

Countless Started
– Few Finished
With a only 3% of the ocean under protection, the pressures of overfishing,
habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, coastal development, and
extraction are taking their toll. The future of Earths oceans rests firmly
on securing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) now. These MPAs replenish
depleted fisheries and create healthy ecosystems that provide resilience
to the global ocean.
Today, there are hundreds of marine protected areas in various stages of
completion. Project 0 has identified approximately 50 projects that it will
provide funding to complete and make functional. Fully functional MPAs in
the “right places” – places where conservation is most urgent and where
the potential for their contribution, both for humans and wildlife, is highest –
is the scientifically proven and credible path for regeneration and survival.
Global, Collaborative & Unbiased Conservation
Project 0 provides funding to MPAs where the needs are most
urgent and where the potential for their contribution is highest
