Are you making waves for the Ocean? Whether you're leading beach cleanups, conducting marine research, using Copernicus Marine data, or promoting marine conservation, we want to hear from you. The Faces of the Ocean campaign celebrates the people, technologies, and initiatives shaping a healthier, more sustainable future for our ocean.
We’re calling on scientists, innovators, youth leaders, and ocean lovers from Europe and around the world to share your real-world actions for ocean protection and sustainable management. Submit a short selfie-style video (no professional equipment needed) and join a growing global movement. Your video will showcase the critical role of ocean science, digital tools, and community action in addressing today’s ocean challenges.
Selected videos will be featured in the Faces of the Ocean campaign across social media platforms managed by Mercator Ocean International and EU Digital Ocean Pavilion partners, and shared with key European Commission Directorates. Relevant submissions may also be showcased on this page and included in a special compilation video presented at UNOC 2025.
Note: Videos submitted after 16 May 2025 will not be included in the compilation showcased at UNOC. However, we encourage you to continue submitting your videos beyond this date, as our social media campaign will extend well after UNOC 2025.
