Adrift Lab science presented to HRH King Charles III

At Adrift Lab, finding new and effective ways to document, mitigate and communicate the scale and urgency of the pollution crisis is core to everything we do. But this is only possible through collaboration: in working together with great people, new ideas are born. We become more creative, and find support in building a community of passionate, inspirational people.

Someone that’s been key to our success has been Justin Gilligan Photography. His stunning images offer a new level of understanding of the devastation we see in the field, and the beauty we risk losing if we don’t act now (he’s also one of the kindest, most generous and talented humans – we’re so lucky to call him a friend and colleague!!).

Through photographs, this message is shared with diverse audiences and universally understood. During London Climate Action Week (last week), HRH King Charles III reflected on the beauty of the shearwaters and the stark reality of what many seabirds now consider “food”.

Grateful to Natural History Museum, London for featuring Justin’s image (which won #WPY60 – whoop whoop), and helping tell the story of what’s happening out there in the big blue.
