** EVENT POSTPONED**

Alexandra's schedule has changed and she needs to reschedule this event. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to see you in the future.

Deeply saddened by the state of the oceans and the increasingly dire predictions for what would be left for her children to explore in 2050, Alexandra started developing the OCEANS 2050 initiative in October 2018. This initiative is a global program of ocean afforestation - restoring lost coastal habitats by designing, seeding and managing marine forests that provide habitat for marine life, reverse acidification and hypoxia, enhance coastal climate resilience and sequester CO2. This restoration mission in turn supports tourism and fishing jobs, helps mitigate climate change, creates wealth and meaningful jobs and provides food security for the planet’s growing population.

After viewing a 15 minute video about conservation and the blue economy, Alexandra will tell us about her project, OCEANS 2050 and take questions.
