Our Story
Spiders and The Sea is the result of two people falling head over heels in love, with the natural world.
A love that is nurtured by a spirit of inquiry.
Through our writing, photography, workshops and unsolicited party conversations about 'why you shouldn't kill that spider in your bathroom', we are keen on spreading this love for mother nature and all the stories, she tells us.
Our Vision
Creating a world where people have a close relationship with nature.
Our Mission
Through research, outreach and creative storytelling, we aim to bridge the gap between people and nature.
