Ocean Ledger

United Kingdom

Ocean Ledger is turning coastal risk (flooding, biodiversity loss) into an investable asset through natural capital accounting. They act as a link between the conservation sector & businesses to assess the risk of inaction, and chart a path for positive and targeted coastal mitigation. Their UN SEEA compliant-approach takes a holistic lens to natural capital accounting by mapping the extent, condition and ecosystems services (blue carbon, biodiversity) across time for mangrove, seagrass, coral reef and saltmarsh ecosystems. Their vision is to leverage technology to turn high-value coastal ecosystems into the assets that they are — making them identifiable, measurable and investable. They do this by equipping governments, NGOs, companies and asset managers with robust insight on how they can engage in coastal nature-based solutions and maximise their return on investment for mitigation, conservation and restoration. By making the invisible visible, they aim to unlock funding, inform policy, and scale evidence-based decision making for global coastal climate solutions.
