A fantastic project working in coastal communities engaging people with science, engineering & climate through fun interactive activities. They have launched a crowdfunder to continue their activities, every donation to be matched by @Aviva@Seadreamed@DeborahGreaves1
Sharing this crowdfunder for a fab marine organisation, @Seadreamed, in Devon.
Their work really chimes with our values.
They have oceans of lovely pledge-rewards.

“We now have powerful climate models that can predict the effects of climate change, we have state of the art satellite observation platforms, and extremely large data sets.

The art and energy team are developing a new solar panel artwork: We plan to engrave a map of #offshorewind dreams in the #celticsea on an upcycled #solarpanel having been inspired by SW Business Council’s fascinating Energy Transition Conference last week.
We are delighted to have Professor Martin Attrill joining us as Chief Scientific Advisor!
His experience and expertise will help us further develop our science programmes and ultimately make a difference to the health of our Ocean 🌊
