DAWN DAYS

Dawn Days started as a way for photographer Mike Guest to alleviate pandemic-driven fears and worsening mental health. It has quickly turned into a concept that shares a simple message; nature has the power to heal.

sATELLITE OF OCEAN HOPE

The small coastal town of Cabo Pulmo in Mexico has a big conservation reputation, an abundant underwater haven returned from the brink. How was such success achieved?

FIRE, MUD AND ABALONE

As California continues to be subjected to catastrophic climate change-induced weather events, many species are in need of help – including marine snails.

sOWING SEA MEADOWS

An EU-funded project seeking to sow new seagrass beds in the UK has undertaken its first large scale planting event. What is the process behind sowing an underwater meadow? Why are the restoration of these habitats so important?

BLUE CARBON

The twin crises of global heating and biodiversity loss are an existential threat to humanity. The protection and restoration of ocean ecosystems are an essential part of the solution, says Steve Trent, director and founder of the Environmental Justice Foundation.
