Welcome to Incredible Oceans

We bring the ocean to the places you least expect it

Real marine science, at the festival, in the bar, on the main stage.

Britain is the 9th largest island on Earth

We all benefit from a healthier, more productive, more biodiverse ocean.
But most people are unaware of its importance to their daily lives.
So we go to where people already are, and we make the ocean worth their while.

We bring the ocean to music festivals, boat shows, community spaces and shopping centres. Over the last decade we've taken it everywhere from Shetland to Cornwall, Wales to Norfolk.

We turn up with a travelling museum of ocean artefacts, a killer whale skull, and an all-weather pop-up dome, and our team of ocean science communicators.
We bring the kit that stops a crowd and the science to back it up.
Festivals, conferences, public events, the lot.
We teach environmentalists, researchers, campaigners, to talk to people and communities who aren't specialists, making them care enough to act

Who we've worked with

They are passionate, playful and MAD about our oceans. Ask Russell about the one about plankton farts.

What's not to love about a giant orca skull to capture people's attention, and a fish dissection demonstration that engaged a large audience for over an hour, with children skipping out enthusing about mackerel eyeball lenses?

I've worked with Incredible Oceans for nearly a decade. Enthusiastic, communicative, and a pleasure to work with.
