We are excited to be running this important event at IMAS as one of the highlights of the festival. Facilitated by Sara James, Emmy Award-winning foreign correspondent & ABC commentator, this discussion will be launched with a short film screening. The conversation promises to be inspiring, educational, and will send audiences home as advocates for the oceans and marine life of our planet. The discussion will also be broadcast online.

Other panelists (in person) include:

Professor Nathan Bindoff – Head, Oceans and Cryosphere Program, IMAS
