Who owns the ocean?

Marine Protected Areas, the national parks of the sea, promise to save our oceans – but do they work?

Emily Jateff, museum curator of Ocean Science and Technology will moderate a conversation between panellists:

• Julia Baird | Journalist and Author 

• David Booth | Professor of Marine Ecology at UTS 

• Camille Comtat | Manager, Biodiversity and Habitats at Minderoo 

• Uncle Robert Cooley | Senior Ranger and Leader of the Gamay Rangers

Your ticket includes a complimentary beer or wine and exclusive after-hours access for the opening of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.

Join the conversation.

Let’s talk about the world we want to have.
