About SeventyOnePercent

The ocean makes up 71% of our planet, and yet, it’s stories remain largely untold.

Who we are

A global ocean storytelling collective

SeventyOnePercent is a global collective of ocean storytellers, creators, and changemakers. We unite filmmakers, photographers, scientists, conservationists, writers, artists, and educators — people whose work flows through the ocean.

We don’t gather to compete.
We gather to collaborate, support, and amplify.
Because no single voice can tell the ocean’s story alone.

What we believe

Unity through a shared passion.

We believe in the power of storytelling — but even more, we believe in the power of community.
In a world driven by individual hustle and ego, we choose connection, shared values, and mutual uplift. We believe that real impact doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when we come together.
Not to stand out, but to stand up — for the ocean, and for each other.
