The 2021 Blue Water Summit (BWS) presented by the Blue Water Institute announces its speakers and program line-up for its second installment taking place June 7th, 2021, in celebration of UN - World Oceans Day. The exchange of ideas between leading ocean advocates, explorers and sustainable brands began on June 7th with an indigenous prayer ceremony led by Lummi Nation and concluded with Innovation 4.4 announcing its 100K ocean prize recipients.

“Blue Water Summit timeliness is unparalleled with the uncertainty of the oceans and the changing of the climate” says Founder and Executive Director, Greg Reitman.

The Summit also gathered leading Ocean explorers - Ashlan and Philippe Cousteau, David Rothschild, Jo Ruxton, Andrea Crosta, John Weller, and Captain Oonya Layolle. “No quote can ever justify or sum up just how deeply important and essential our Oceans are to life on this planet, says Ocean explorer David Rothschild. If you don’t believe me, start by imagining not being able to take every second breath you take.”
