Value proposition

The science and art of communicating about life below water: training, education, festivals and events

Changing climate, plastics, pollution, acoustics, over-fishing: our ocean is known to be under intense pressure, yet surveys show that many people are unaware of these topics and less that 1 in 5 children in the UK have visited the coast. We believe that if people better understand & feel passion for the ocean, they will care more about solutions.

That’s where Incredible Oceans fits in. Our expertise is in communication, community engagement & outreach to diverse audiences.

We are a non-profit company that matches the truth of science with the emotional power of culture & art to make knowing about our marine world vibrant, appealing & accessible. We draw on our strong maritime heritage whilst also using the sciences of mind & brain to appeal to the values & motivators that influence people’s decision-making, causing positive behavioural change.

Our proven expertise is in developing and delivering festivals & events, large and small where, funded by corporate sponsors, science institutions and agencies, we provide interactive, fun & robust environmental art and science for demographics not necessarily attracted to science or environment; ‘non-self-selecting audiences’.

Our skills are commissioned by scientific, advocacy & corporate organisations to help them better communicate critical environmental issues.

Our team train & mentor organisations’ staff & individuals, to deliver effective communication, with participants, artists, creative experts, community groups and organisations, co-designing and co-producing innovative outreach activities.

Our education work, funded by grant-giving bodies, reaches young people through educationalists, teachers and media; collaborating to produce impactful video content, schools visits & links to resources for the classroom.

We are a collaborative platform working with others to educate about UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 'Life Below Water'.
