About The IOCC
The Island-Ocean Connection Challenge (IOCC) is a global initiative created by Island Conservation, Re:wild, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
The IOCC is a volunteer collective of NGOs, governments, funders, scientists, individuals, and island communities dedicated to restoring and rewilding 40 globally significant island-ocean ecosystems by 2030.

How the IOCC Works
The Island-Ocean Connection Challenge breaks down silos within established networks by catalyzing Island Communities, Funders, Researchers, Non-Profits, Governments, and Individuals, into a concentrated project with a clear scientific focus and outsized global benefit, making it one of the most important ecological investments of our time.
Climate change, ocean degradation, invasive species and biodiversity loss are causing entire land-sea ecosystems to collapse, and island communities are disproportionately impacted.
We can heal our oceans by restoring and rewilding islands.
