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.
