Oceans 2050
Studio
Building abundance:
To serve the ocean, we focus on serving people.
We design for performance and beauty—
because abundant and beautiful oceans give us rich experiences, and rich economies.
Guided by Fritz, a traditional architect, and Matt, an innovative coastal engineer, the Studio develops holistic ocean solutions for communities and organizations, resorts and businesses, and private shoreline owners -
to enhance fishery abundance, strengthen coastal resilience, and create places people love.
Want more fish? Build better homes. Want safer coasts? Strengthen natures front lines.

Our Principals
-
Fritz Neumeyer
Principal
As CEO and Co-Founder, Fritz has been shaping Oceans 2050's organization, strategy and concepts since its inception. Addressing the actual work of building abundant oceans with the Studio now brings him back to the core of his unique skillset: architecture and real estate development.
Raised as a self-professed urbanite, Fritz is an architect educated in the classics, with a Master’s from ETH Zurich. After several years in corporate architecture, he ran an office with Sebastian Treese until he met his wife Alexandra - leading to his dedication to restoring abundance to our oceans.
Or, as he likes to call it, “the largest collective rebuilding project in human history."
