Our Ocean from Space

A UNESCO and ESA co-production, Our Ocean from Space takes visitors on a visual journey into Earth’s marine ecosystems, covering a range of scientific topics including changes to Arctic sea ice, ocean warming, rising sea levels, the role of sea salinity and ocean currents, and the consequences of climate change on coral reefs and biodiversity. With its breathtaking images and video interviews, the exhibition embarked in April 2024 on a three-year tour, stopping at major international events to raise awareness of the critical environmental challenges facing our oceans. Over the course of three years, visitors will discover how Earth observation satellites monitor the way gravity influences ocean dynamics, maritime traffic, and marine protected areas. Using Earth observation satellite images, augmented reality, and interviews with experts, local decision-makers, and coastal inhabitants, the exhibition also explores current efforts to protect the fragile beauty of our marine ecosystems.

After its debut in Barcelona, the exhibition moved to the Milano, Paris and Rimini (Italy). Next stops will be Toulouse, Singapore, Nice and New York (exact dates to be confirmed).

Our Ocean from Space is coproduced by UNESCO and ESA, with the support of Mercator Ocean International and the Italian Space Agency, ASI. The French Space Agency (CNES), the Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya (ICGC), Planetek Italia, the Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC), Shom, Prométhée Earth Intelligence and the Maldives Space Research Organisation (MSRO) have also collaborated.
