We are ocean lovers who try to record the beauty of our beloved ocean by words and photos. We believe that the ocean will become better through our actions.
BlueTrend is a We-media which has been established by the Oceanholic Company Limited since 2017. Our official website (https://bluetrend.media/) has become one of the most comprehensive informative marine websites among the Traditional Chinese community now. Our team has been concerned about marine conservation for a long time and has cooperated with many marine biologists, local diving shops, and ocean lovers through many activities, such as publishing two “Oceanpedia” with marine researchers. These books have become one of the most important guidebooks for learning marine biology in the Chinese region; we also made the diving spots hanging clothes and the marine microhabitats hand cards which can help the diving operators improve their marine conservation knowledge and attract the public interest. Moreover, we also established a YouTube channel which provides heaps of marine knowledge for the public.

Marine Citizen Scientist Sea Life Database
Our team has started to establish the “Marine Citizen Scientist Sea Life Database” since 2021. We collect over 4000 valuable marine creature photos and cooperate with many marine biology experts for creating this sea life database which includes over 2500 common species. We hope this database will become one of the important marine creature databases in the Pan-Pacific Area.
In future, we plan to translate the database in different languages, include AI identification, establish the feedback mechanism…etc. We hope that we can keep working on this marine live database through civic engagement.
