We are a growing collaborative network of over 100 researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines and cultural backgrounds, from oceanography to neuroscience, to visual art, to theater, to sonification, to history, to philosophy, to journalism, dedicated to exploring the intersection of Ocean and Memory, and advancing Ocean Memory as a new field of scholarship and creative expression. 

The perspectives and opinions within our collective are wide-ranging and not always compatible, but they spark creativity and work together to create a more complete understanding of what ocean memory might be. Diversity of viewpoints is a strength that enriches the ways in which we can understand the world. 

As the ocean’s memories are brought into our collective awareness, this thriving research community aims for a sea change in our ability to address challenges of the Anthropocene
