What We Do

Our work is highly interdisciplinary, cutting across different sectors, fields of study, geographies, and demographies. Many of our projects don’t sit neatly within any one area of work, but sit at the intersections. To facilitate this we work with diverse partners who each bring their own perspective to the project. This improves our work and allows us to innovate new ways of doing things.

We all depend on the ocean and waterways of the world and in our local communities, for food, income, leisure, and cultural identity. These ecosystems also support biodiversity and climate regulation. Stewarding these ecosystems must be done in a way which balances their innate value with the needs of communities.

Research

We build the knowledge base on marine habitat contributions to people and what implications this has on resilience to climate change impacts.

Education

We share knowledge with young people and early career individuals through formal and informal education settings.

Arts, Culture & Sport

We inspire environmental stewardship and responsible storytelling through photography, art, and sailing.

Policy

We advocate for sustainable ocean science by engaging in high level discussions to set international and national policy which prioritises locally led work.

Industry

We support local businesses as consultants and partners, providing advice and navigating permitting/licensing and regulatory requirements.

Our Objectives

We aim to:

Empower local action through knowledge, leadership, policy, and innovation

Connect communities with one another and their environs through engaging art, cultural events, sport, and participatory science

Build capacity through training, opportunities, and resource mobilisation

Our work can broadly be summarised as ideas and enquiries, mechanisms for capacity building, and resource mobilisation.

Furthering our reach, we also engage in communications and creative output activities such as policy briefs, art, publications, media, events, and open days/local action.

The following examples are just some ways in which we can help with your work. We’re always excited to build new collaborations; if you’d like to work with us in a capacity not listed, please reach out and we can creatively build something together.

See our Who We Are page for information regarding our values. We work with people, organisations, and on projects which align with our ways of working. We always enjoy learning new ways of seeing the world from partners and collaborators, but there are some things we won’t compromise on.

We have had the privilege of working across the Northern hemisphere with many communities and organisations.

Consultancy

Our typical day rate for deliverable based work is £300. However, this is subject to change depending on the scale of the project.

We are also very open to mixed financial and in kind forms of compensation, mutually beneficial partnerships, and equitable collaborations.

We’ve been funded through consultancy contracts, grants, and stipends, as well as donating a lot of our time to non-profit organisations and grassroots projects.

We’re certain we can find a way to work with you if the project is a good fit!
