Join us to learn about the many ways information about our ocean makes its way through the world. We’ll hear from a Curator at the Mystic Seaport Museum, who brings the history of the ocean to the public, a professor in Maritime Studies who writes books on our human interconnection with the ocean, the founders of Blue Latitudes, a women-owned marine environmental consulting firm, and marine science policy advocate who helps to create sustainable business solutions for our ocean. We’ll get to hear about each of our panelists journeys throughout their career, and get the chance to ask them questions about how they became ocean advocates!
