Published:14 Jun.2020    Source:WHOI

June 8th is World Oceans Day, but we’re celebrating the big ole blue all month-long. For many, the day will be a reminder of the sea’s capacity as a medium for trade, a regulator of climate, and a rich tapestry for seaside cultures.

 

But it’s also a great time to marvel at the storytellers and intrepid scientists who have made these attributes so clear to us. So before you post those Cousteau quotes, share that inspiring Sylvia Earle documentary, or talk about those neat expeditions by James Cameron, we’d like to present you with ocean explorers you may not have heard of: Heidi Sosik, Kakani Katija Young, Bruce Strickrott, Dr. Ashanti Johnson, Luis Lamar, Danni Washington, and Orla Doherty.
