Grand Blue Project Community
Marine Contributors
Help build a living marine knowledge platform by sharing underwater videos, photos, species observations, field experience, and ocean stories from around the world.
Built by People Who love the Ocean
Grand Blue Project is more than a platform. It is a growing community of divers, underwater photographers, videographers, researchers, educators, dive professionals, and ocean enthusiasts working together to document marine life.
Every contribution helps expand the Marine Species Library, strengthen the Video Library, improve observations, support education, and create a richer understanding of our oceans.
Your content does not need to be perfect to be valuable. A single verified sighting, photograph, video clip, or dive observation can help tell a bigger story about marine biodiversity.
GRAND BLUE PROJECT
Ways You Can Contribute
Different people contribute in different ways. Grand Blue Project is designed to bring those contributions together into one connected ocean knowledge platform.
📷 Underwater Photos
Support species identification, habitat documentation, education, and visual learning.
🎥 Marine Videos
Share footage of species, behaviours, interactions, reefs, habitats, and dive environments.
🐠 Species Observations
Record the marine life you see and help expand biodiversity knowledge across regions.
🪸 Habitat Records
Document coral health, reef condition, trash, restoration, and environmental changes.
📍 Dive Site Knowledge
Help build richer location information connected to dive sites, MPAs, and marine regions.
🔬 Scientific Expertise
Support accuracy, taxonomy, species validation, conservation context, and educational depth.
🎓 Education Content
Create learning resources, quizzes, explanations, and tools for students and ocean lovers.
🤝 Community Support
Help connect divers, educators, conservation groups, partners, and local ocean communities.
How Contributions Become Ocean Knowledge
A contribution becomes powerful when it is connected. Photos, videos, observations, locations, species profiles, and educational content can work together to build a deeper understanding of marine life.

GRAND BLUE PROJECT
Contributor Recognition
Grand Blue Project is designed to recognise the people behind the knowledge. Approved contributions can be linked back to contributor profiles, helping showcase the divers, photographers, videographers, scientists, and organisations helping build the platform.
Contributor profiles can connect to videos, photos, species observations, articles, dive sites, partner locations, and educational content across the platform.
This creates a transparent and inspiring record of who helped document marine life and where their contributions are making an impact.
Marine Videographer
Connected to behavior footage and the Video Library.
Research Contributor
Supports taxonomy, validation, and conservation context.
Diver Observer
Records sightings, site conditions, and dive observations.
Why Contributors Matter
The ocean is too large and too diverse for any single organisation to document alone. Contributors help Grand Blue Project grow from a marine platform into a living, community-powered knowledge ecosystem.
Expand the Library
Contributors help add new species, media, observations, habitats, and regional knowledge.
Support Citizen Science
Shared observations help reveal patterns in species distribution, habitat health, and marine change.
Inspire Ocean Learning
Photos, videos, and knowledge make marine education more visual, accessible, and engaging.
GRAND BLUE PROJECT
Who Can Get Involved?
