BE A VOICE FOR OUR OCEAN

THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT OUR OCEAN, AND IT’S IMPORTANCE, IS THROUGH STORYTELLING.

Storytelling is as old as humankind and as powerful as the mightiest of Ocean waves.

Since 2009, we’ve been using Science and Storytelling to connect millions of people to our Ocean, educate them about its importance, and empower them to take environmental action to protect it.

More than ever, we want to platform young voices doing the same.

We want to share your Ocean stories, your insights, and the journey you’ve been on – learning about and bettering – our blue planet.
