Happy Earth Month! Now y’all already know, we treat every month like it’s Earth Month. But this April, we’re going extra hard for the planet!

That’s why BIMS was born. We’re building a global network of passionate marine scientists and ocean advocates dedicated to restoring, researching, and reimagining a healthier, more just planet for all.
