Ocean Science is Changing the Future

Aim
Educate everyone of the importance in the health of our Ocean through science and storytelling.
Science underpins everything we do at Ocean Generation
We translate complex Ocean science into engaging content; use film and popular culture stories to nurture an inclusive approach to sustainability; and run three UNESCO-endorsed youth engagement programmes for 3 – 25-year-olds.
Your support allows Ocean Generation to continue delivering the following:
- Turn marine science into user friendly content for everyone
- Share important Ocean topics on the Science Hub
- Create resources backed by science for our Wavemakers & Ocean Academy programmes

With 42% of the global popluation under the age of 25, the lives of young people will be most impacted by today's Ocean threats. We use the power of storytelling to translate complex marine science into engaging and practical actions. Our four-pillar approach includes:
1. Engaging in the wonder of the Ocean
2. Presenting Marine Science
3. Explaining Ocean Threats and
4. Creating Empowerment tools to generate action
Our UNESCO endorsed Youth programmes are built on the same four science-based pillars.
Not only do we engage with young people, we share important topics grounded in science on our Science Hub. Our Science Hub is an inclusive and accessible space to engage our audience in Ocean Intelligence. It's a one-stop platform for learning the importance of the Ocean and our impacts, but also to equip people with the knowledge they need to adopt Ocean-positive behaviours. In accordance with our UNESCO endorsement, the Science Hub plays a pivotal role in this decade which is the most crucial decade for action. Visit the hub
We aim to reach 600,000 children and young people in 2024, through our programmes and over 5 million active engagement with our marine science content.
Our continued primary scientific goal for 2024 is to explore our Ocean across four key realms: the Poles, the Deep Ocean, Coasts and the Open Ocean. This Ocean Explained series will highlight Ocean threats and solutions in these areas, while expanding knowledge of fundamental Ocean processes.
