TAMSIN RAINE

Being a lifelong ocean lover, Tamsin has spent most of her life on or close to the sea.

Inspired by the ocean from a young age, Tamsin set out on a journey learning how to communicate to the masses with the aim to do it for a good cause. After graduating with a first class honours in Advertising & Marketing she spent years agency side managing national campaigns for market leading brands. It didn’t take long for her to realise the missing link - her passion for the sea.

Tamsin believes that our emotional bond with the ocean is often overlooked in conventional approaches to marine science and management, by bridging the gap between culture, science and communication through creative practices we can promote collaboration between sustainable development, heritage and ocean stewardship.
