We are an ocean science communication initiative
We believe it’s time for a new voice.
Forget the stodgy, archaic methods of communicating science. We are creating a different genre of science communication. One that embodies modern culture and creates a social media network of ocean advocates. Science communication that breaks the mould and reaches the people who have the power to make real change. YOU.
Help Spread the Word.

The Problem
The ocean is in trouble. Have you heard?
Our ocean is under threat. And do you know what makes it worse? Most people don’t know. Or they don’t care. Maybe you saw Blue Planet. Caught a glimpse of the news. Scrolled past a climate change post on Facebook. Heard something about ditching plastic straws. Perhaps you’re even aware that the ocean is f*cked. But the truth is we’re all just so overwhelmed by information that we just forget.
We are all online. 24/7. And somehow, the important stuff just slips through. You know, the real, life-changing, planet-saving stuff. The problem isn’t just that science isn’t communicated – it doesn’t reach enough people.
