ABOUT THE NEW 2024 STORYTELLER IN RESIDENCE

Mads St Clair - coral biologist, conservation photographer-filmmaker and expedition leader - joins us for one year to capture the ocean’s most important topics with the support of a £45,000 fund.

British scientist Mads St Clair is a coral reef biologist, conservation photographer-filmmaker and expedition leader. Her drive to learn, investigate and document our oceans has taken her to some of the remotest corners of the planet to create powerful, compelling storytelling that serves as a call to action.

Throughout the next 12 months, Mads will be sharing all her incredible photography and stories with Oceanographic readers here.
