Mapping the Ocean: How Art, Play and Technology Are Reimagining Our Blue Planet
Description
Step into the world’s first public Spilhaus projection ocean map with presenter Chloe Russell in this special World Ocean Day episode of Talk of the Thames. Recorded at the newly reopened Ocean Hall at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, this episode features an immersive walking interview with curators Tim May and Aimee Mook.
Together, they explore ocean literacy, underwater ecosystems, and the power of play in environmental storytelling—from tiger sharks with cameras to coconut crabs, seagrass meadows, and underwater volcanoes.
This episode blends science communication, creative technology, and ocean advocacy to remind us that our relationship with water extends far beyond the Thames—and across the globe.
Perfect for listeners interested in: ocean science, museums, environmental storytelling, public engagement, climate communication, art-meets-science, World Ocean Day 2025.
