ADELAIDE, BROOKLYN PARK, AUSTRALIA, June 1, 2022/EINPresswire.com/ -- The 2022 Blue Water Summit (BWS) presented by the Blue Water Institute announces its speakers and program line-up for its third
installment taking place June 8th, 2022, in celebration of UN - World Oceans Day, although the first in Australia.Inspired by the Great Southern Ocean, the natural beauty of Kangaroo Island, and a consistent focus on the environment, the Blue Water Institute has chosen Adelaide for its Australia operations. The Blue Water Summit 2022 will be the first of many events in South Australia, to support providing a Voice to the Oceans.
We are in the second year of the UN Decade of the Oceans and there remains a need to raise awareness to meet the ongoing challenges for our Oceans. Captain Paul Watson, of Sea Shepard, reminds us that “If the Oceans die, we all die”
The Summit is an exchange of ideas between leading ocean advocates, explorers, artists and sustainability practitioners ranging across four (4) global themes – the Discovery & Re-discovery of the Antarctic region; the transition from Hunting to Harvesting (for the Oceans); improving our Ocean Literacy; and learned stories from our First Nation brothers. “Blue Water Summit timeliness is unparalleled with the uncertainty of the oceans and the changing of the climate” says Founder, Greg Reitman.
Included in the one-day Summit are 17 panelists including Tim Jarvis, adventures, and Mike Libecki, national geographic explorer, both recently returning from Antarctica together with Lynda Goldsworthy, on Antarctic Conservation Policy; film makers Matthew Blyth, Director, and Dan Monceaux; marine researchers and ecologists Rob Lewis, Dr. Pia Winberg, Dr Prue Francis, and Professor Gretta Pecl; Environmentalists Alan Noble, Jilly Middleton and Tony Bartram; artist Jane Bamford and publisher Peter Maddern; Derek Walker, Ngarrindjeri leader and Mickey O'Brien, indigenous cultural advisor; and Dr Kate Rodda for the SA Government. Cellist Janis Laurs will perform pieces inspired by whale harmonies.
It is truly an impressive group of thought leaders and activists to celebrate UN World Oceans Day.
