About wild ocean blue
This blog is named wild ocean blue after the personal website I ran for years (until helenscales.com took it’s place). My plan is to post up-to-the-minute snapshots from the marine world – scientific studies, conservation programmes, photographs etc – that encapsulate the diversity, fragility & beauty of the oceans.
Ultimately, I hope this site will go some way towards answering the question: Why do the oceans matter?
And in addition, now that my first book has been published, I will also put on my writers’ hat and cast a literary eye over the oceans to hunt down other people’s words – both old and new – about the marine realm.
I will begin by offering up what I think are the some of most interesting and important aquatic studies being published (in particular, ones that aren’t making it into the wider press), and then I will take it from there.
