The Faces of the Ocean campaign showcases the people, technologies, and initiatives driving ocean conservation and sustainability efforts in Europe and around the world.
We're inviting ocean experts and innovators globally to share their inspiring stories through short video messages. No professional equipment is required - a simple smartphone selfie will suffice. Your contribution will amplify a powerful collective narrative, highlighting the essential role of ocean science and collaborative action. Submit your video and help spark meaningful change; the ocean depends on all of us!
Selected videos will be featured in the Faces of the Ocean campaign across social media platforms managed by Mercator Ocean International and EU Digital Ocean Pavilion partners, and shared with key European Commission Directorates. Relevant submissions may also be showcased on this page and included in a special compilation video presented at UNOC 2025.
Note: Videos submitted after April 25th will not be eligible for the compilation video.
