Last year, SeaKeepers rolled out the blue carpet for ocean restoration supporters at the Epic Marina and Residences during the Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show. The fundraiser honored leading scientists of the marine conservation industry while raising awareness for the Living Oceans Foundation 4-yr Global Reef Expedition.

The Library of Congress has recognized Dr. Earle as a Living Legend. She is an Explorer in Residence at the National Geographic Society and former Chief Scientist of NOAA. She has spent more than 7000 hours underwater researching the oceans. She was awarded the 2009 TED prize for her work to establish” hope spots”– a network of marine protected areas in the oceans.

Dr. Earle’s presentation on her team’s plan for a manned Deep Ocean exploration will be followed by a panel discussion with top leaders in the ocean community who will share their priorities for ocean preservation.

This VIP invitation only event is hosted annually for the Founding Members of the International SeaKeepers Society.  SeaKeepers will be honoring our 2011 SeaKeeper, ten time World Champion Surfer & fellow ocean advocate, Kelly Slater. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Sylvia Earle. Guests will be ferried to the party in private tenders. Cocktails and seated dinner will be held at a private inland waterway Villa along the New River. The evening will be a very special event for our supporters as we work to protect and restore our oceans. Last year the elegant event was hosted on board the stunning MY Cakewalk.
