8. Community. I wouldn’t be the communicator I am today without the support from my community. From comments to other communicators I learn so much from the amazing people around me! So thank you for coming on this adventure with me. 

Photos of me and other people who have inspired me!

And finally a thanks to all who have supported me, commented and connected over my content! Those who’ve asked questions, send photos of their rockpooling finds!

It’s taught me so much and I am so grateful to have you all along for the adventure!

I’m excited to SEA where it will go next! (10/10)

My science art journey started because it often rains in the UK so when I can’t be with my lovely sealife, I wanted to paint them!

Little did I know how powerful using art to learn science can be!

From that I’ve grown in confidence and creativity - marinemumbles.com/illustration... (8/10)

3. Talks. 
It is no surprise I can’t stop talking about the sea. Catch me online or in person events talking all things sealife and science. Including science festivals, Edinburgh fringe, online workshops, science games, guided rockpooling. 

Photos of me on stage at all the above mentioned things.

2. shows. Bringing the joy of the ocean to you through theatre! Full of fun, silliness and science! 

A picture of me dressed up as a full sized orange starfish. Me on the west end Matilda stage for a talk about what are barnacles and me dressed up as a barnacle anemone flatfish monster.

Science shows are the most fun to make and create - from dressing up as a starfish to convincing 400+ people I am a flatfish because I put on a pillow case! I hope to take the sea to you and connect you to science and the sea through silliness!

1. Videos. Watch, learn and ask questions about so many marine topics in my videos. There’s an image of a computer with the words 300+ videos on the screens and a selection of thumbnails from YouTube videos surrounding it. The thumbnails highlight the types of videos I make including - book reviews, marine biologist career advice, sealife info, ocean Timelapse’s, aquarium vlogs, nature art, rockpooling vlogs.

YouTube has always been a thing I have truly loved to do, or why else would I have created over 300 videos all about our oceans!

I’ve paused making videos recently, but that will change very soon so head over to subscribe and not miss out on even more! (3/10)

My goal is to help everyone fall a little bit more in love with our oceans. Let’s adventure together to learn all about our oceans. How? (There’s an arrow pointing to swipe to next image)

A picture of an octopus and fish are on a dark blue background. The bottom of the page has a photo of me (white female with pigtails) and yellow wellies and a blue raincoat crouched excitedly in a rockpool pointing at the water. There is also a double sided arrow and text over this photo between the words curiosity and joy.

Since MarineMumbles (MarineMumbles.com) started many many years ago it’s always been about falling a little more in love with our oceans!

Everything I do, is to adventure together into curiosity and creativity all about nature and our oceans! (2/10)

"I just love barnacles so I do"

An accurate quote from @marinemumbles.bsky.social who asks you you to get your wellies on & learn about the wonderful wildlife that can be found on the rocky shore.
