The Ocean Health Index (OHI) is the first assessment tool that scientifically compares and combines key elements from all dimensions of the ocean’s health – biological, physical, economic and social.

The Index provides leaders with the portfolio of information they need to promote a more sustainable human-ocean ecosystem, and sets a standard of measurement to continually inform decision-making and positively impact ocean health and human well-being. Congratulations to Erich in his new role as Director of the OHI, supporting effective ocean management throughout the world, from China to Colombia, from New Caledonia to Brazil.
