No matter where you are in the world, you are connected to the ocean. For some, the ocean is a stone's throw away. For others, the ocean feels out of reach.
​
Our Big Blue aims to make the ocean accessible to everyone, everywhere. We want to bring you the magical underwater world through our photography, films & blogs.
​
Now more than ever, we need to unite & contribute to providing a cleaner, more sustainable future. Our oceans are suffering from our poor actions and are threatened by overfishing, plastic pollution, chemical waste spills, rising sea temperates and coral bleaching.
About Our Founder, Charlotte
Charlotte is an avid ocean dweller, diver & photographer. With over 500+ dives all over the world, Charlotte's love for the ocean is deep rooted. After witnessing the death & destruction of our coral reefs & marine life, Charlotte founded Our Big Blue in 2018 to help raise awareness on issues impacting our oceans.
"I have moments when I am in the water, where I feel completely helpless. Watching a lifeless coral reef, or finding discarded fishing nets... our impact on the ocean is much bigger than you think. And, it's terrifying. But, if you don't frequent the ocean, how would you know? How can you relate?
​
I launched Our Big Blue to bring the oceans to you. After all, we protect what we love and if I can make you fall in love with the ocean, then I can smile and feel a little less helpless." - Charlotte Youlten
