ABOUT
Take a journey that connects you to the ocean, exploring both intuitive and hidden links with the waters that define so much of Scotland. You will be invited to reflect and interact with the platform by artist, Eve Mosher. Jump in and consider how you are Holding the Ocean.
​
Holding the Ocean connects Scotland to its oceans through interactive and personal experiences. You are invited to explore stories from marine researchers, witnessing the changing Arctic and Northern Atlantic, with the on-land activities of Scots engaged in adaptation and mitigation projects across many sectors.
​
The stories include those of researchers in the Arctic and North Atlantic observing, recording and modeling climate change as well as stories from people in Scotland observing, responding to and making change.

You are invited to submit your own story, or schedule an interview.
