Changing climate, plastics, pollution, acoustics, overfishing: our ocean is well-studied and known to be facing threats, yet many people find these issues confusing and less than 1-in-5 UK children have ever visited the coast. 

We seek to make these topics relevant and easier to understand for all ages and in 12 years have become the go-to experts for excellence, creativity and ‘outside-the-box’ thinking around ocean communication. 

We match science with entertainment and art to make our marine world vibrant and accessible, and use social science to appeal to the values we each hold dear. If people better know the ocean they will care more about solutions and ways they can take action.

To do this we: 

• Create ground-breaking online broadcasts and videos using fun and robust environmental art and science

• Co-produce public outreach and community engagement, especially with those not necessarily attracted to science or environment

• Run festivals and events for large and diverse demographics, funded by corporate sponsors, science institutions and agencies

• Train scientific, advocacy and corporate organisations to help them better communicate about critical environmental issues

• Reach young people through educational materials and school visits, working with partners to share impactful content

We are a collaborative platform, co-producing content and sharing the good work of other organisations to educate and communicate about the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 'Life Below Water'. We believe that by bringing together people from varied backgrounds and cultures we can engage better about the issues with people from varied backgrounds and cultures.

the science and art of communicating about life below water . . . it has never been more important
