Accessing the Deep
A flagship training and mentorship program co-developed for Ocean Discovery League to broaden participation and create opportunities for underrepresented groups in deep-sea research and exploration. We laid the foundation for this initiative, which has grown into a UN Ocean Decade-endorsed program now in its third year.

Suara Masyarakat (Community Voices)
The 36-month, EU-funded ‘Suara Masyarakat’ media development program by Internews in Malaysia where we focused on capacity building for the Malaysian media, amplified marginalised voices and promoted good governance and accountability.
Specialised Knowledge
Our approach is grounded in interdisciplinary thinking and a commitment to knowledge exchange. We bring a wealth of experience to every collaboration, helping clients navigate complex challenges at the intersection of environmental conservation, media development, and ocean science.
