The Marine Diaries

Formed in December 2017, The Marine Diaries is on a mission to communicate ocean science. It educates and influences the public through engaging content, and inspires the next generation of ocean warriors. The Marine Diaries connects people with the ocean, by bringing them the beauty of the underwater world, and exposing them to the struggle experienced by marine life and people alike due to current anthropogenic threats. Through the power of science communication, it encourages responsible behaviour now, and for the future. Activities include campaigns, ocean literacy projects, 8 different blog series, webinars, talks on Clubhouse, and career advice.The team consists of over 30 volunteers from around the world, who hold formal academic qualifications in the field of marine science at BSc, MSc and PhD level. We aim to tell the stories of the ocean through the people and organisations working hard to protect it. Contributors range from scientists to artists, to businesses and marine organisations, who can get involved by contributing articles, interviews, media, and participating in activities. Campaigns and projects coordinated by The Marine Diaries have collaboration at their heart.The audience is young, online, and interested in the ocean and/or environmental issues. People such as scuba divers, surfers, conservationists, and those already taking steps to minimise their impact on the planet, such as reducing their carbon footprint or plastic consumption.
