Seizing the spotlight with science

An intergovernmental scientific and cultural agency wanted to turn its findings into powerful advocacy for its marine sites—the world’s most outstanding examples of natural wealth.

We transformed detailed studies of its blue carbon ecosystems—mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and tidal marshes—into a story that elevated the profile of these ecosystems with global policymakers, practitioners, and NGOs and raised funding.

We also wrote a hard-hitting opinion piece and placed it in the world’s leading scientific publication, generating wide international media coverage.
