  • Are You O.K.?

    We're connected to the sea in ways we don’t always see or fully appreciate; our shared origins, interdependence, shared stakes. The Ocean Kinship project is about shifting our perspectives on this connection.

    Inspired by the idea of human kinship – rooted in mutual understanding, respect, and care – this new initiative invites us to rethink our relationship with our big blue space as something more reciprocal, more personal. Because when we know our oceans better, the better equipped and motivated we are to care for them.
