We're excited to announce award-winning jazz vocal We're excited to announce award-winning jazz vocalist, Emma Pask as our first Blue World Ambassador. 

"I am a rough water swimmer and passionate about ocean conservation. The ocean is my favourite escape - where I head for adventure and exercise, and my place of calm. There is nothing quite like watching a beautiful blue groper pottering about in the submerged rocks or spotting a magnificent bull ray gliding over the sand. These experiences of marine wildlife are magical. But the ocean is crucial to us beyond its role as our blue playground: it also provides us with a lion share of oxygen and regulates our global climate. Literally we cannot live without the ocean. 
In my performing work, I love to share stories and use creativity to connect with people. I hope that with Blue World we can advocate and communicate complex marine issues using science, the arts and community action. Altogether, our small accumulative changes can secure a thriving sustainable ocean and a brighter future for us all, both in in our blue backyard and across the blue world." 
Looking forward to working with you in the future.

Sanctuaries are a lifeline for NSW’s unique mari Sanctuaries are a lifeline for NSW’s unique marine life and habitats — they are magical places which allow marine life to thrive, where marine life is not in constant danger. Sanctuaries are important for threatened species, such as the critically endangered grey nurse sharks, black cod, White’s sea horses. More marine sanctuaries means more fish for every one. 
Ocean Lovers met at Parsley Bay to ask our politicians to support further sanctuaries and reverse cuts that have been occurring in marine sanctuaries along the NSW coast. It’s time for a bigger and better network of marine sanctuaries to help restore our extraordinary underwater world.

Inaugural Prize winner Jason Iggleden @dronesharka Inaugural Prize winner Jason Iggleden @dronesharkapp has shared that the prize will be used to improve his equipment and storytelling about Sydney's marine life. 
 He plans to widen his reach to include more young people with social media and his app. 'With connection comes care and support' 
We wish him well. And great shot of #alextheseal
Prize winner Joseph DiBattista of the @australianm Prize winner Joseph DiBattista of the @australianmuseum shared some details of his project: 
The project will use the power of DNA and citizen scientists, and work to restore habitat for our beloved White's Seahorse in southern Sydney Harbour. The prize will be used to to build 'seahorse hotels' - small sanctuaries, where the sea horses can thrive in the wild. 
Valerie Taylor is an inspiration in the marine conservation space and so I am honoured to be a recipient of this prize. I have hit the ground running as I started the monthly seawater sampling to detect the shed DNA of all the critters that live at two of our study sites in southern Sydney Harbour today!'
