Find friends and collaborators
Entering unknown waters can be hard to do alone. With camaraderie and curiosity, we can harbor collaboration among a lively network of ocean people near and far. Sharing insights, telling stories, and passing on updates all help to weave a resilient fabric of ocean knowledge.

Dive into our digital ecosystem
In concert with OCEAN / UNI and Ocean-Archive.org, ocean comm/uni/ty forms an immersive three-pronged ecosystem for learning, discovering, and gathering.
TBA21–Academy is a contemporary art organization and cultural ecosystem fostering a deeper relationship to the Ocean through the lens of art to inspire care and action. For a decade, we have been an incubator for collaborative research, artistic production, and new forms of knowledge by combining art and science, resulting in exhibitions, research, and policy interventions. Established in 2011, the nonprofit’s program is informed by a belief in the power of exchange between disciplines and in the ability of the arts as a vessel for communication, change, and action.
