Interested in Ocean matters? Join Clan Ocean
Please Note: We are reworking our Clan Model and are currently not taking on new Clan members. Stay tuned for some exciting updates.
As a marine research and education charity, we work for a blue planet with a healthy Ocean that benefits nature and people. Being based in the Scottish highlands and islands region, we are 'innovating' our culture and operate a clan that is not connected by blood but by shared commitment and purpose.
We welcome anyone into Clan Ocean who wants to know more, find out more, experience more, express more, or do more for a healthier Ocean and thriving coastal communities. Many of our clan supporters are former students, staff, visitors, interns and trustees but also collaborators, artists, adventurers, neighbours, sailors, divers and ocean-loving people of all identities.
What unites Clan Ocean is
+ an enduring interest in the marine environment
+ a shared belief in the importance of independent marine science to inform decisions
+ a commitment to increasing ocean literacy
+ wanting to support and keep up-to-date with SAMS activities
+ a healthy Ocean is your happy place
If you share these values, please join us!
