On Thursday, October 31st, 2024, The International SeaKeepers Society will host its annual Founders Event, an evening to honor outstanding leadership in marine conservation and recognize the DISCOVERY Yacht Fleet, which has supported SeaKeepers programming throughout the year.
2024 SeaKeeper of the Year, Guy Harvey
Guy Harvey is a unique blend of artist, scientist, diver, angler, conservationist, explorer and entrepreneur, fiercely devoted to his family and his love of the sea. His childhood passion for the ocean and its living creatures not only inspired him to draw but fueled a burning interest that prompted a formal education in marine science. Guy is a recipient of the Simon Combes Award, and has been inducted into the Fishing, SCUBA Diving and Swimming Halls of Fame. The Guy Harvey coastal lifestyle brand brings the undersea world into everyday life through its merchandise offering including apparel, art, home goods and gift items that all help benefit marine conservation through the research and education work of the Guy Harvey Foundation.To learn more, click here.
