Happy World Ocean Day!

The Blue Marble Series was created out of my love for swimming in the ocean and my desire to take you all with me, to rediscover the ancient relationship between life on land and life in the sea. As part of the UNESCO Blue Thread Global Network for Ocean Literacy., it is an honor for me to explore and reveal what's hidden deep within our extraordinary blue planet.

In celebration of World Ocean Day, I'm gifting the Beneath the Surface coloring book to all of my Patreon subscribers. Thank you so much for supporting my exploration of Earth's innerworkings and sharing the cultural ties we have with the sea around the world.
