In honor of the anniversary of Oceanic x Ibiza, Oceanic Global has been rolling out weekly video highlights of the thought leaders and speakers who attended the inaugural event of our city-by-city series on our social media channels. Since first bringing mainstream awareness for ocean conservation to Ibiza through our day-long festival and lasting activations on the island, Ibiza has pledged to go single-use plastic free by 2023!
Alex Cornelissen, CEO of Sea Shepherd Global, speaks to our partners at Forbes about another type of problematic consumption – the illegal poaching of fish in our global waters. Mark Dalio, Founder of OceanX Media, speaks to our partners at Forbes about the importance of media in communicating science and the need for conservation efforts. Mark explains how Virtual Reality (VR) in particular is a creative way to pair technology with providing immersive experiences people may otherwise not have access to. Susan Rockefeller, Founder & Editor-In-Chief of Musings, Board Member of Oceana and Oceanic Global Advisor spoke at Oceanic x Ibiza, urging people to look past the surface of the ocean and see just how big the pollution problem really is. Adrian Grenier, co-founder of Lonely Whale spoke at Oceanic x Ibiza about what it will take to rid the ocean of plastic waste, and how urgent the issue really is.
