One World One Ocean presents, in association with Liquid Pictures 3D — Mission Aquarius — a project of Aquarius Reef Base. The entire 16 part Mission Aquarius series and interactive campaign can be seen here. * 2013 Honoree, Webby Awards for Best Online News Series.
Since 1993, America’s “inner space station” has helped us understand the disappearance of coral reefs, train NASA astronauts for space and research sea sponges, the source of two cancer drugs. The discoveries made at Aquarius have opened our eyes to how little we really know about the vast complexity of the ocean. It is one of the planet’s most important brain trusts, and it is about to be closed.
MacGillivray Freeman’s One World One Ocean Campaign created an intensive media engagement effort to shine a light on the world’s last undersea research station and created a firestorm of national and international news pieces – placing the lab on the national agenda.
IMAX, RED, GoPro and DSLR cameras were used to capture the beauty of this special place.
