Sea creatures tell their own stories. Meet them, learn how they live, and help keep their home safe.
Follow @reloceansScroll down and you sink. Each of them lives at a different depth, and each one has something to ask of you.
Loggerhead sea turtle · Caretta caretta
“Every summer I swim back to the beach where I hatched to lay my eggs. Bright lights and plastic bags make that much harder than it should be.”
Keep nesting beaches dark at night, and take your rubbish home.
Bottlenose dolphin · Tursiops truncatus
“I find my friends and my food by sound. When the sea gets loud with engines, I can barely hear myself think.”
Slow your boat down when dolphins are near, and never chase them.
Seahorse · Hippocampus guttulatus
“In my family, dads carry the babies. I raise mine in the seagrass meadows, so when an anchor tears them up, it tears up our nursery.”
Anchor on sand, never on seagrass.
Mediterranean monk seal · Monachus monachus
“You’ve probably never seen me. There are very few of us left, and I rest in quiet sea caves along the coast.”
If you spot a seal, keep your distance, stay quiet, and don’t enter its cave.
Common octopus · Octopus vulgaris
“I can squeeze through any gap and solve almost any puzzle. Lost fishing nets are the one trap I can’t always escape.”
Report ghost nets you find, and never leave fishing gear behind.
Dusky grouper · Epinephelus marginatus
“I grow slowly and live a long time. When young groupers are caught before they’ve had babies of their own, there are fewer of us every year.”
Don’t buy or order undersized fish.
People protect what they care about, and they care about who they know. Reloceans lets sea creatures introduce themselves, one short story at a time.
A new short video every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on Instagram, told by the creatures themselves.
Every story is built on real facts about where they live, what they eat and what threatens them.
Each story ends with one small thing you can do. Small habits, repeated by many people, change a coastline.
Digital stickers, wallpapers and illustrated guides featuring the crew. Part of every sale will go to marine conservation, and we’ll publish exactly where it goes.
