Ten years ago, as fresh-faced young marine scientists, we packed our tiny backpacks and set off on the adventure of a lifetime.

Over ten years ago, we—Dr. Alison Sky and Dr. Fiona Ocean—stood at the edge of the Arctic, wide-eyed with wonder, collecting data as young marine scientists on a mission to understand this frozen frontier. Now, we’ve come full circle…

Meet Dr. Alison Sky and Dr. Fiona Ocean – twin sisters with blue hearts! Growing up on the fossil-rich shores of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England, and the wild waves of the Irish coastline, they were always knee-deep in seaweed, exploring tide pools, and imagining underwater kingdoms. That childhood curiosity grew into a mission to protect the ocean.

Did you know that over 70% of our planet is ocean? That’s a whole lot of blue! Oceans don’t just make great places to splash, snorkel, and spot sea creatures—they actually keep our planet alive.
