Since 2020, Ogilvie and Page have collaborated with leading scientists at The Scottish Oceans Institute, producing the first phase of INTO THE OCEANIC, featuring public events and largescale video projections during the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow.
INTO THE OCEANIC is built upon the understanding that oceans hold key solutions to the climate crisis. Blue carbon ecosystems, including kelp forests, plankton, seagrass, and salt marshes, play a vital role in carbon sequestration.
