We set sail for the adventure of a lifetime: a year-long journey to the corners of the Earth. Our epic voyage took us across vast oceans, as we confront the greatest threats facing our oceans.

Every second breath you take comes from the oceans. The oceans give life to our planet. In return we are suffocating them; dredging up too many fish, stealing food from needy mouths, carelessly killing countless creatures including whales, turtles, sea birds and thousand year old corals, we fill the oceans with pollution and warm them with climate change.

While many of us love the ocean, it's hard to imagine what is happening just beyond our beaches, and hard to picture the scale of destruction and the impact that it's having. By travelling to most of the oceans in the world, this voyage  to changed that  - we are made the unseen, seen.
