Sponsor me to be an Ambassador for the Arctic.

Hi I'm Benita,

I am an underwater photographer and designer running a micro business (Benni Marine Designs ) based in Hobart, Tasmania. I use my own underwater images to create textile designs and promote the beauty of the ocean and help others understand the importance of our oceans to our existence (in a fun and fashionable way!).

I have been accepted to be one of 110 people in the world to be an Ambassador for the Arctic in June 2025 as part of Ocean Geographic's BIG ACE Expedition. I am beyond excited and inspired to be a part of this epic event.

I will be self funding the airfare and diving component of the trip, but to help make this a reality I really need sponsorship to cover the main cost of the voyage.

In June 2025, Ocean Geographic’s BIG ACE Expedition will mark a pivotal moment in environmental history. As we celebrate the 90th birthday of the legendary Dr. Sylvia Earle, we will assemble 110 global citizens to journey to the frontlines of climate change: the Arctic. This is not just an ordinary tourist expedition – it is a scientific mission—it’s a movement.

I would be honoured if you could help with a few dollars.
