History
Parley for the Oceans was founded to create a space where seemingly disparate parties can talk, think and act together to negotiate peace between humankind and the life-giving ecosystem that connects us all: the oceans. The name derives from pirate lore, in which a parley is a conference or discussion, especially between opposing sides as a negotiation for terms of a truce; the root of the word parley is parler, French for "to speak." Launched in 2012, Parley has grown from a series of talks into a global movement of individuals, groups and organizations taking action for the oceans.
