Two thirds of our planet is covered in water but still over 90% of the ocean is unexplored – so we thought we’d better get cracking!

Join Marina Ventura as she goes exploring the seas and the type of creatures that live there.

Marina and her very clever Mappy App will be travelling to the polar ice caps, diving into the deepest areas of the oceans, meeting a lot of interesting animals along the way!

Find out about the power the oceans have over our weather and environent as well as the problems we face today from from climate change and humankind’s destructive influences.

Listen to Marina Ventura’s Ocean Adventure every day in The Club with Luke from 4pm!

Meet Marina Ventura

Marina absolutely loves exploring and is ready to try everything, whether it’s dealing with the icy cold winds of the Arctic or swimming with a pod of whales in the ocean.

What’s more, she does it all with a smile!

Of course, she couldn’t do it without Mappy App. He’s a super clever device Marina takes with her everywhere.

Although he might not be quite as up for coming face to face with a polar bear, he is full of fascinating information to help Marina learn about the places she visits and also stops Marina running headfirst into trouble!

The only problem is he sometimes gets lost in Marina’s backpack. Being an explorer means she needs to carry a lot of stuff with her, but it does sure make things hard to find!
