Sea Change Project

The Sea Change Project is a nonprofit environmental storytelling organisation. We use the power of storytelling and science to connect humans to the wild. Our Netflix Original film, My Octopus Teacher, a BAFTA and Oscar winner, has championed a global movement of emotional ecology. We set out to make the kelp forests of Southern Africa a global icon by giving them a collective identity, the “Great African Seaforest”. We carefully embedded this brand in all our media work and in 2021 it was named a New World Wonder. This newfound iconic status will help ensure its long-term protection. We are continuing this legacy to increase the long-term protection of the Great African Seaforest, and to popularise kelp forests all over the world for their preservation.
