Fishy Topics is an educational platform dedicated to ocean science, fisheries, and the creatures we share the planet with. We use storytelling, data, and real-world examples to make marine biology understandable and exciting.

Fishy Topics is founded by marine biologist Elsa Gutierrez, with experience in NOAA fisheries, policy work, and science communication.

Currently, most Fishy Topics content is free to explore.
In the future, some in-depth series, extended lessons, and special projects will be available through a subscription.
Full access — including complete series, premium educational content, and special topics — is available through a subscription.

Once subscriptions launch, you’ll be able to sign up directly on our site.
We’ll announce it through email and social platforms.
