Step inside the creative and scientific minds shaping the future of ocean storytelling and conservation. This section brings together filmmakers, researchers, explorers, and educators from our past panel discussions and live zoom calls whose perspectives illuminate both the art and the urgency of understanding our blue planet. Through conversations, behind-the-scenes insights, and breakout sessions, these voices reveal the passion, curiosity, and expertise driving powerful films and real-world ocean action. Together, they show how storytelling and science work hand in hand to inspire awareness, connection, and lasting change.
From our 22nd annual IOFF panel discussions. People, wildlife and our ocean are inextricably linked, with the health of one depending on the health of the others. Together, as community members, scientists, educators and decision-makers, we are taking action today to protect our shared ocean for future generations of people and wildlife alike.
Join experts from the world’s largest marine mammal hospital, The Marine Mammal Center, to hear stories of hope.
Dr. Jeff Boehm, Chief External Relations Officer
Kathi George, Director of Cetacean Conservation Biology
Dr. Emily Whitmer, Clinical Veterinarian
Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement
During this discussion, you’ll get a deep dive into how the Center is taking action to protect our ocean, including seal and sea lion rescue and rehabilitation, critical partnerships like WhaleSafe, ocean stewardship and more, as well as how we are all interconnected, what the future holds for ocean health and how you can get involved.
