The last few days have been emotional for our team. Sitting with difficult stories, bearing witness, and listening.
Every small action, picking up rubbish, learning more, voting with the ocean in mind, becomes part of something bigger.

On #AnnualHumpbackDay, we celebrate one of nature’s most extraordinary journeys. Each year, humpback whales travel over 5,000 km up Australia’s east coast to warm waters like Tonga, ancient breeding and calving grounds where new life begins. #marinelife #whale

A century after it was discovered, scientists have finally captured the first-ever footage of a living colossal squid in its natural habitat!

The 30-centimetre juvenile was filmed at a depth of 600 metres near the South Sandwich Islands 🌊🦑

The ocean holds the rhythm of life itself; vast, mysterious, and alive. Protecting it isn’t just about saving wildlife, it’s about preserving the heartbeat of our planet. Every choice we make can help it thrive.

Sperm whales’ brains are not only the largest on the planet but are also highly complex, with large areas dedicated to communication and social interaction. Their unique clicks form a kind of 'whale language' used to communicate with pod members 🌊🧠 #SpermWhales #WhaleCommunication #marinelife

The reef is a living network; every coral, fish, and current connected. When one part is disrupted, the whole system feels it. Just like in our society, we are all connected. When one of us suffers, we all lose. When we care for each other, we all thrive.

Imagine being up to 24 metres long and still being called pygmy.
Life as a pygmy blue whale, small only by whale standards. Even the biggest beings rely on the smallest choices we make.

In no-take zones, fish populations can surge by up to 600%, helping ecosystems recover and ensuring long-term benefits for both wildlife and coastal communities. Global initiatives are aiming to boost MPA coverage to 30% by 2030.

The ocean’s beauty reminds us of what’s worth protecting. Even in challenging times, nature’s resilience is a reason to believe we can coexist. We’re stronger and more connected than we think.
