Okhtapus is building the first global replication platform dedicated to resilient and equitable ocean and coastal solutions, powered by the potential of people and the ocean to bring about a regenerative future. Like the eponymous animal of our inspiration and its three hearts and multiple intelligent arms, Okhtapus unites the three nodes of project enablers, solution innovators and financing institutions.
