About this event
Plastics, Munitions, Farm Runoff, Chemicals, and Medicine. Everything we consume in quantity ends up in the ocean. Year after year. For hundreds of years.
Most of it is unseen, unnoticed, until whales wash up on shore with stomachs full of plastic, huge lagoons suffocate tons of fish, and TNT from WWII munitions end up in the shellfish we eat.
In this UN Ocean Decade Lab Event webinar we will explore huge ocean pollution challenges and some innovative Digital Twin Ocean solutions. Close to shore, where the impacts are greatest.
We have a fantastic set of speakers.
1. How can Digital Twins help Clean the Ocean
– Steven Adler, CEO Ocean Data Alliance.
2. Finding Plastic with Satellite AI
– Dan Hammer, CEO Earthrise Media
3. Endless War: The Tragedy of Millions of Tons of WWII Munitions in our Oceans
– Jan Wendt, CEO north.io
4. Mar Menor: How Farm Runoff is Killing the Ocean
– Oscar Esparza, WWF Spain
5. Farms and Fertilizer
– Andre Laperriere, Executive Director of GODAN
Each speaker will have 15 minutes and then we will have an interactive discussion about all the topics. Attendees will be muted and can send questions in the chat.
