2018: They championed gender equality in ocean science by amplifying the voices of women in the field.

2022: They spearheaded a groundbreaking initiative – a women-led underwater stunt on Sri Lanka’s East Coast.

Beyond Spectacle: A Call to Action for a Healthy Ocean
This recent underwater stunt is more than entertainment; it’s a powerful call to action:
