About This Video Project

We worked with Ocean Visions, a science-based, non-profit conservation organization, to produce an About Us video to showcase who they are, what they’re about and how they’re advancing new solutions to stabilize the climate and restore ocean health. For this project we had to write a script, hire a voiceover actor as well as conduct several remote interviews. When it came to the visuals, we mostly used premium stock footage featuring locations all over the world. The client also provided photos that they wanted used as well.

Throughout millennia, the ocean has been central to the lives of people, providing food, livelihoods, and regulating the climate of our planet. But today, all those vital services are under grave threat from climate change. Excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are pushing the ocean past safe boundaries, rapidly warming seas and increasing ocean acidity are damaging ecosystems and reducing the ocean’s capacity to regulate our climate. These climate change impacts far outweigh all other human-caused damages to the ocean. But the ocean also holds enormous potential to help us address climate change and heal our planet. And humanity has the science, technology, and ingenuity to make that possible. At Ocean Visions, we’re at the forefront of making this vision a reality. As a science-based ocean conservation organization, working in partnership with a robust network of leading universities, oceanographic institutions, and practitioner partners, we help develop and advance innovative solutions to restore ocean health and stabilize the climate. We bring a wide range of people together to create new ocean-based solutions, solutions that help reduce CO2 emissions, that remove carbon pollution, and that repair and rebuild vital marine ecosystems. We work with scientists, innovators, governments, and communities around the globe to test and advance these solutions. By bridging diverse sectors, we open doors to new breakthroughs that can further transform how we protect the ocean. Really grateful for Ocean Visions because they serve as this network that brings together academia, industry, government, regulators, and allow for us to come together and build these relationships. And I think that is what is moving the field forward. Ocean Visions is just extremely unique in that it brings together startups with the academic rigor of scientists, and they’re catalyzing solutions that really matter. It’s really pretty extraordinary for an organization to be doing all of those things at once and so adeptly. Ocean Visions is connecting us to better infrastructure and also access to funding so that we can do our own research here in Kenya. It’s very important when you’re trying to come up with solutions because our research can change lives. Imagine a future where our ocean is once again thriving, teeming with life, supporting billions of livelihoods, and helping stabilize and restore our planet’s climate. We can’t do it alone, but together we can harness the power of human ingenuity to develop the solutions we need to make this vision a reality.
