Currents of Change

An evening of ocean science, conservation and community action

Currents of Change is an inspiring evening of conversation about the future of our marine environment and the people working to protect it.

Bringing together scientists, conservation leaders, local volunteers and environmental activists, the event will explore the extraordinary work happening from Antarctica to the Sapphire Coast.

From the recovery of southern right whales to the restoration of underwater ecosystems at Merimbula and the ecological study of Tathra Wharf, the evening will showcase both cutting-edge marine science and community-led action.

Whether you’re passionate about the ocean, curious about local environmental projects or simply want to hear remarkable stories of science and local activism in action, Currents of Change offers a rare opportunity to connect with the people shaping the future of our marine environment.

Carrie Davis - fresh from an Antarctic activist campaign opposing industrial krill fishing and advocating for stronger marine protection.

Dr Cayne Layton (marine biologist) - working on the Merimbula Wharf Urchin Barren Restoration Project, helping restore underwater ecosystems damaged by exploding sea urchin populations.

Luke Hamilton - local resident collaborating with marine scientists on the ecological study of Tathra Wharf, bringing a detailed understanding of the local marine environment and the health of one of the region’s most significant coastal structures.
