My Pacific row is a “project” of the Blue Frontier Campaign, a US nonprofit organization that supports grassroots marine conservation efforts, and organizes global conferences that encourage collaboration amongst the multitude of ocean-focused nonprofits.
In early March there will be a major get-together in Washington DC. I am honoured to be one of the members of a panel discussion on the opening day, alongside such marine luminaries as Philippe Cousteau and Dr Sylvia Earle.
The event is open to all who care about the oceans – a perfect opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, and to help support future oceanic endeavours.
By combining efforts we can achieve so much more. If we pull together, we can save the world – including the oceans!
| Change is in the air. Can we bring change to the water, too?
Yes we can. Come to Washington D.C. and help Turn the Tide. Our Ocean Planet is in trouble. President Obama and the new Congress need to be reminded how vital a healthy ocean and coasts are to our economy, security and climate response. Join the Blue Vision Summit along with hundreds of ocean leaders for three purposes:
Panelists include: NOAA Administrator Dr. Jane Lubchenco (invited), White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley (invited), Representative Sam Farr, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and other Congressional leaders, California Secretary of Resources Mike Chrisman, Sylvia Earle, Philippe Cousteau, Roz Savage, Ralph Nader, Thomas Lovejoy, marine artist Wyland, author Bill Mckibben, Sherman’s Lagoon cartoonist Jim Toomey and many more. |
