Just Blue opened it's doors in November 1999.

Initially we focused on education, the rocky shore night adventures and the look and learn projects were aimed at school kids eager to learn more about the marine environment.

With time it became apparent that we need to extend our interests. By combining Shirley's taxonomy skills and Tim's computer skills we have ensured that Just Blue can now provide an excellent Ascidian identification service.
