About this event
Environmental Conservation calls for collective action. The Youth Ocean Alliance aims to bridge the gap between the young and older generations while highlighting the importance of individual actions. Bimonthly virtual talks have transformed into a forum through which activists, artists, scientists and all sorts of ocean ambassadors come together to discuss and analyze current and upcoming ocean solutions. The start of a global ocean conservation movement begins here.
Bringing together Hong Kong's most committed and determined ocean ambassadors to raise awareness, discuss ocean challenges and means to address them as well as encourage and create opportunities for the public to contribute and adapt their lifestyles in favour of the seas.
We aim to target a global audience of ocean enthusiasts and stem upstream collective action.
