I’ve spent most of the month of May in, on or by the ocean. And in this month, I fulfilled a life long dream of seeing Manta Rays in the wild, the stars aligned and Ocean by was released to fuel my passion for the magic of the sea and I welcomed my 37th year with my children experiencing my own love of the water and its wildlife.
Through it all I have felt, as I often do when immersed in wilderness, such an immense sense of pride for the work we do at , however small it may be, that funds the wildlife warriors on the ground, the change makers and the policy shakers.
I’m also so proud of the care we take with our retreats; to choose the right people, to charter a better course, to say “no” when destinations or activities we are offered are not inline with our ethos. We travel so carefully and, I believe, bravely - we could easily give in to tourist traps and get more money or more bookings but no; we actively steer clear of the well trodden path, and take as much care as possible to introduce people to the hidden gems of our wild world whilst having as much of a positive impact on it as possible 🙏🏻
Whilst we’re talking ocean conservation and Ocean, I also absolutely have to give a shout-out to the incredible team at who are based right here in Bristol. They are consistently producing work that is changing the way that we look at and interact with the world around us 💙
