On 15 September 2026, at Sala Sironi in Milan, One Ocean Foundation and Regg3 presented Blue Value – Measuring and Valuing Biodiversity in Marine Ecosystems, an event dedicated to new approaches to measuring environmental and social impact and to the role of data and technology in sustainability decision-making.
The event saw the preview presentation of the new technology platform developed by Regg3, applied to the marine biodiversity conservation and restoration projects supported by One Ocean Foundation. The collaboration combines One Ocean Foundation’s expertise in scientific research and marine ecosystem conservation with Regg3’s technological expertise, with the aim of making impact more transparent, measurable and traceable.
During the event, the platform was used live to demonstrate the journey from scientific data to investment decisions: from identifying the needs of a specific territory to measuring the impact generated, and ultimately to directing resources towards the most effective interventions.
Two One Ocean Foundation projects provided concrete examples of this approach: Canyon di Caprera, through the scientific monitoring of species and their level of risk, and Blue Forest, the project dedicated to restoring marine forests of Posidonia oceanica.
The platform measures, interprets and prioritises local needs, quantifies and tracks the impact generated, and connects Corporate Donor investments to effectively measured results. In this way, each investment can be linked to a specific impact unit, a defined territory and a concrete environmental challenge.
For One Ocean Foundation, this approach strengthens its commitment to making ocean conservation and restoration a process that generates measurable and long-term environmental and social impact, placing scientific research at the service of concrete action and a blue economy designed with a long-term perspective.
The event also highlighted a fundamental aspect of conservation: ecological impact unfolds on a different timeline from financial and business cycles. The results of marine ecosystem conservation and restoration projects may only become observable years after the initial investment. A result that appears to be zero today does not necessarily mean that there is no value; it may instead reflect the scientific time required for change to become measurable and provide clear evidence.
Through Blue Value, One Ocean Foundation and Regg3 highlighted how science, data and technology can help transform knowledge of marine ecosystems into more informed decisions, supporting investments in the blue economy that take a long-term view and recognise the time needed for conservation outcomes to become measurable.
