The Sustainable Seas Conference is set to begin on November 1st, with an aim to “unite voices from around the world to protect our oceans, the heartbeat of our planet and Bermuda’s largest asset, our blue backyard.”

A spokesperson said, “The world is facing an urgent call to action in the preservation and sustainability of our oceans, and the Sustainable Seas Conference is taking the lead in this mission. From November 1st through the 5th, the Sustainable Seas Conference will convene passionate activists, researchers, and professionals from around the world in a dedicated effort to address critical issues, seek solutions, and engage the youth in grassroots activism.”

“The Sustainable Seas Conference, a global initiative dedicated to ocean sustainability, conservation, and youth engagement in activism, is set to be a transformative event for those who care deeply about our planet’s most precious resource—the oceans. This conference is not just a gathering of minds; it’s a call to action, a declaration of our shared responsibility to protect the seas for future generations,” said Weldon Wade, founder and event co-host.

The spokesperson said, “Joining the discussions, sessions and reflections are in-person local and international special guests including Zandile Ndhlovu, Black Mermaid Foundation, Dr. Camille Gaynus, Black in Marine Science, Dr. Miguel Meijas, Meredith Andrews, Aaron Critchlow, Bermuda is Love, Brandon Flemming, fisherman and spearfisher, Weldon Wade, Guardians of the Reef and more.

Event Highlights:

  • Global Gathering of Expertise: The conference will bring together a diverse group of ocean conservation enthusiasts, including renowned activists, leading researchers, and seasoned professionals. The collaboration of these individuals will result in a rich exchange of ideas, solutions, and strategies to tackle pressing ocean-related issues.
  • Youth Engagement: The Sustainable Seas Conference recognizes the crucial role that youth play in the future of our oceans. Youth engagement and empowerment are central to our mission. We aim to inspire the next generation of ocean conservationists, providing them with knowledge, skills, and resources to make a difference.
  • Practical Solutions: While the challenges facing our oceans are formidable, the conference is determined to focus on actionable solutions. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of what they can do in their communities and beyond to make a meaningful impact on ocean conservation.
  • International Special Guests: We are honored to host international special guests who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the conference. Their insights and contributions will inspire and guide attendees on their journey towards ocean conservation.

“It’s not an overstatement to say that every one of us has a pivotal role to play in ocean conservation efforts. Our oceans sustain life on Earth, provide vital resources, and are a source of inspiration and wonder. The Sustainable Seas Conference is the platform where this shared commitment becomes a reality.

“Join us from November 1st through the 5th as we unite voices from around the world to protect our oceans, the heartbeat of our planet and Bermuda’s largest asset, our blue backyard. Together, we can ensure that the beauty, diversity, and abundance of the seas are preserved for future generations.

    Oh good grief! Google the names listed above and see who/what they really are.

    Who is paying for this boondoggle?

    • Kim Smith says:

      I am not sure why you would have any issue with this conference. This is the first effort by this group and so they really should be encouraged in their efforts to shine light on man’s last frontier now under serious threat. Give it a chance and then you can judge based on a fair assessment.

      Also the price is affordable so that’s a plus.

    Silly goose. Why they are all people who are concerned about something and want our support and donations to their cause(s).

  4. Joe Bloggs says:

    Sadly, no one from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution or any other highly respected independent research facility

    • Triangle Drifter says:

      Not a one. Doubt if Woods Hole has even heard of them.

    • Hilarious! says:

      Let’s try this again using fewer details.

      Woods Hole respected? Is that the same Woods Hole that allowed a key researcher to claim on their website for about 8 years that he was a 2007 Noble Peace Prize winner before being reported by an outsider? The same Woods Hole where not one of the highly educated employees who worked with the researcher on a daily basis noticed this? Do you mean THAT Woods Hole?
