Ocean access is about sharing our experiences and our stories about the sea with people who are custodians in many ways with or without experiencing life beneath the surface. https://t.co/X08Zu3I5Xk #AfricaRefocused #NEWFcommunity #BahariYetuFestival #OurSea #OurStories

The Bahari Yetu festival kicks off in Lamu, Kenya on the 9th of October! We have been hosting a Storytelling and Film Lab to produce a short film which will be screened at the festival. https://t.co/X08Zu3I5Xk #AfricaRefocused #BahariYetuFestival #EmergingFilmmakers

Ocean temperatures are rising, threatening sea turtles! 🐢🌡️

Warmer sands mean more female hatchlings, disrupting the balance.

Let's protect these amazing creatures! 🌍🐢
