On August 14, the Australian National Maritime Museum is proud to present its second talk in its Big Blue Ideas series, Plastic – The Final Straw? Join TV Host and comedian Craig Reucassel, oceanographer and startup co-founder Dr Julia Reisser, youth ocean and climate champion Kal Glanznig and BehaviourWorks Senior Researcher Jennifer Macklin for an honest and open discussion into the effects of plastic on our oceans, environment and our bodies.
Moderated by the Museum’s Senior Curator, Ocean Futures - Emily Jateff, this talk is a key feature in the Museum’s Science Week programming, and designed to inspire, inform and educate people of all ages.
Big Blue Ideas is a new series from the Australian National Maritime Museum in partnership with the Minderoo Foundation about the future of our ocean. Forget doom and gloom—these are not your typical climate conversations. From AI and conservation tech to cultural storytelling and deep-sea discovery, these talks put you in a room with innovators, scientists, artists, and disruptors.
This event begins at 6:30pm on August 14 and will be held at the Australian National Maritime Museum, with tickets starting from just $25. Following the talk, the conversation continues at our Sea Citizens After Party, a boardwalk gathering with drinks, hands-on activities, and the chance to connect directly with speakers and fellow ocean advocates.
