EMA Speaker Series with Ocean Champions

This lively panel discussion led by moderator (and my hero) Ashlan Gorce Cousteau focused on how a strategic effort among ocean lovers, ocean conservation groups, and elected officials is required to build the political will to ensure healthy and thriving oceans and coasts for today and future generations. Panelists included Angela Howe from the Surfrider Foundation, Salud Carbajal, Director of Santa Barbara county and David Wilmot, CEO of Ocean Champions. The Moss Theater at New Roads in Santa Monica, California was the perfect venue for the invested attendees and played perfect backdrop to the topic. Ocean Champions believes that conserving and protecting our oceans requires grassroots advocacy and full engagement in the political process and eee agrees. #VoteTheOcean
