Voice of the Ocean
from depth to action
Eyes in the ocean.
Eyes on the ocean.
Our lives are intertwined with the ocean. Without thriving seas, we all face an uncertain future. Without knowledge, we face it blind.
At Voice of the Ocean, we are dedicated to advancing ocean science and promoting ocean literacy. Bridging science and storytelling, we conduct and support vital marine science and bring the ocean to life through inspiring creative work.
We have eyes in the ocean – and we help to turn the world’s attention to it.
Ocean Science
Our fleet of nautical ‘robots’ is constantly collecting vital data about the ocean. See what they are discovering and find out more about our scientific work.
Ocean Literacy
Through storytelling and creativity, we promote the wonder, workings and importance of the ocean. Find out how we inspire fascination with the sea and its secrets.
Ocean Dreams
Experience Ocean Dreams, a giant-screen journey beneath the waves that explores the ocean’s ecosystems, the challenges they face, and examples of marine recovery around the world.
