Welcome to

BE THE WAVE

The ocean needs voices, doers, and dreamers. This is your space to learn about marine conservation, inspire others, and take action. From science to sustainability, from advocacy to adventure—small ripples create powerful waves. 

Powerful ocean wave breaking in deep blue water, symbolising NAUTRA's slogan - BE THE WAVE- in other words the energy, scale, and importance of protecting our oceans.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Susanna & Seb

We're Susanna and Seb, the founders of NAUTRA and the creators of BE THE WAVE.

We believe education has the power to inspire action, and that small moments of curiosity can lead to lasting change.

That's why we built BE THE WAVE—a place to learn, explore and deepen your connection with our blue planet.

We hope you enjoy exploring.
