Share your Sea Story

Complete the participation form and send your story separately by email, YouTube link or WhatsApp. The team will review your contribution before publication.

Record your story

Record up to 10 minutes at a time (maximum 20 MB). Your microphone is used only after you select Start recording and allow access. Recordings stay in this browser until you download them; they are not uploaded to this website.

Listen back, then download your recording before leaving this page. You can record another part if you need more time.

Recording requires JavaScript, a supported browser and microphone access over HTTPS.

Send your story

Email your downloaded recording or a YouTube link to [email protected]. Include the name used on your participation form so the team can match them.

How to upload a video to YouTube

If you prefer WhatsApp, contact the Sea Stories team at the email above for the submission details. If a file is too large for your email provider, ask the team how to send it. Keep your downloaded copy until you know it has arrived.

You can also use your device’s own recording app if browser recording is unavailable.
