Stable Seas is a transnational non-profit initiative dedicated to improving global maritime security and governance through rigorous research and collaboration. Addressing complex transnational threats like piracy, maritime terrorism, and migration crises, Stable Seas pioneers innovative solutions that unite governments, civil society, and the private sector. The organization employs a holistic systems approach that interconnects critical themes, including the welfare of coastal populations, international maritime cooperation, and ocean conservation, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive societal strategies over fragmented efforts.

Founded in 2016 and transitioning to independence in 2021, Stable Seas is led by a team of esteemed experts in maritime security, including Lydelle Joubert, Jon Huggins, and Curtis Bell, who bring extensive experience from military, academic, and civil sectors. Their work includes creating the Maritime Security Index, which serves as a benchmark for assessing maritime security dynamics globally. Committed to fostering effective responses to maritime challenges, Stable Seas advocates for ambitious, whole-of-society approaches essential for the safety and security of the world's oceans.
