Ocean Stories

Balean is all about story telling. We have collected the best stories for you.

Scaffolders of the Sea

Learning about the state of our oceans can feel like watching a cherished home crumble under the weight of neglect. The dismantling of a house is methodical: permits secured, utilities disconnected, and furniture removed. Then comes the demolition, cascading from the roof, down to the walls and windows, until the foundation itself is bulldozed.

The Invisible Storytellers of the Sea

The ocean was once a stranger to me. I would have loved the exposure as a kid; waves at my feet, sand between my toes, and salty air in my lungs. Instead, I knew blizzard-swept winters and summers marked by wide horizons and fields without end. As a young kid, the ocean was just a vast blue body of water for playful seals, a dolphin or two (thanks, Free Willy), and the menacing Great Whites of Jaws. With only films to frame my view, I couldn’t have known about the intricate life processes beneath the waves.

Did you know about ocean heat waves before?

We all have experienced a heat wave in our lives. So we all know how tiring and oppressive that is. Oceans can have heat waves as well, warming up the water. This has some consequences.
