Our Work

We are a living lab for high impact public ocean engagement. As illustrated in the diagram below, we collaborate on research with partners, generating ideas and theories to better understand how people think, feel, and act toward the ocean.

We then apply and refine insights through various public engagement initiatives within community spaces.  We share what works (and what doesn’t), amplifying key insights with broader networks of ocean actors through various regional, national, and international leadership roles.

Our living lab is a space of ongoing study, mutual learning, and iteration. It is research-led, participatory-driven, and ground-truthed in experience. Through this dynamic, collaborative, and responsive approach, we accelerate high impact public ocean engagement.
