Ocean Visions is launching a new series of Ocean Talks that aims at bringing inspiring ocean solutions ideas and efforts to the attention of the Ocean Visions community and beyond.
Format:
• 20-30 minutes invited
TED-style talk on ocean solutions idea
or effort
• 30-minute breakout
group discussion led by students
with jamboards
• 10-minute reports
from breakout groups
At
the end of each breakout group, the
leads will post a short 200-300 words
blog entry to summarize the
conversation from the breakout
groups.
Both talks and breakout groups are in a virtual format and open to any registered attendee. Registration is free but required. We also invite the community to suggest speakers and topics.
The Spring Series will close with an Ocean Solutions Panel on April 23, 2021
02:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Join us for a panel discussion to learn about the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 and how you can get involved in this once-in-a-lifetime initiative. Panelists will provide an overview of the Decade as well as how different sectors - including NGOs, business/industry, government, and early career ocean professionals - can contribute to the Decade, both in the US and internationally. Following the panel, we will have breakout rooms for discussion and Q&A with the audience.
Panel Moderated by Theresa Keith & Tammy Bleier, Knauss Marine Policy Fellows
