The Rubbish Group
The Big Blue Project is led by Biosphere partner Artreach Studios and it explores our relationship with the sea through art and creativity supported by science.

Background
Artreach Studios, based on the harbourside in Peel, launched The Big Blue Project as a UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man Project in 2023. Artists Colette Gambell and Kate Jerry are inspired by the sea and its creatures, which they use as a source in their own art work and in delivering workshops. The Big Blue Project will communicate and engage the community with the wonders and magic of the underwater world and how special and important they are, not only for climate change and biodiversity but for our health and wellbeing and connection with our natural world.
