The Summer Ocean Party Makes a Splash
Thank you to everyone that supported our first-ever Summer Ocean Party with Marine Applied Research and Exploration (MARE) and Cordell Marine Sanctuary Foundation, the evening was a great success! The focus of the party was our long-standing work to stop bottom trawling and protect deep-sea corals and sponges. They are some of the oldest living animals that we know of and our team, in partnership with MARE, was thrilled to premiere video taken with a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) during our Channel Islands expedition to find these rare seafloor communities. It was wonderful sharing glimpses of the deep with engaged partygoers, while having a really good time.
Many great sponsors and organizations helped make the Summer Ocean Party a night to remember. The Baum Family Foundation’s assistance allowed us to hold the event, and Lagunitas Petaluma Taproom and Beer Sanctuary gave us the perfect space to entertain our guests. The following businesses also made it a success:
