			<p>
				The Ocean Health Index ('OHI') is a scientific framework used to measure how healthy oceans are. Understanding the state of our oceans is a first step towards ensuring they can continue providing humans benefits now and in the future.

	<h2> Where have OHI assessments been done? </h2>
	<div class="container">
		<p>
				We've led global OHI assessments of 220 coastal nations and territories every year since 2012, and also lead OHI assessments at smaller scales.
		</p>

		<p>
				Additionally, we share code and provide training and support for independent groups interested in leading their own OHI assessments. These are called independent OHI assessments, or 'OHI+ assessments'.

	<h2> Open data science for marine science and management </h2>
		<p>
				The OHI is transforming the way marine science streamlines with coastal management by leveraging practices and tools from open science and data science. We work openly online and have shared our story in publications and blogs. We teach these practices and tools to groups leading OHI+ assessments.
