Upcoming Live Events

Please join the Around the Americas Expedition alongside Dr. Ana Belén Yánez Suárez a marine biologist, National Geographic Explorer, Conservation Leadership Programme Alumna, and PhD candidate at Memorial University of Newfoundland as she dives into New records of deep sea sharks, skates and chimeras in the Galapagos archipelago.

The Around the Americas Expedition is a 14-month voyage, that just launched in May. They will circumnavigate North and South America aboard the 48-foot sailboat, One Ocean. The mission focuses on scientific research, education, and community outreach to raise awareness about ocean health. Building on Captain Mark Schrader’s original 2009–2010 journey, the expedition will compare oceanic changes over the past 15 years.

Please join the Around the Americas Expedition and our special guests from BC Whales—Janie Wray, CEO and lead researcher, and Grace Baer, biologist, conservationist, and research/project manager—as we learn how drones are being used to study and save whales. From measuring their bodies, understanding threats like entanglement and ship-strike, and collecting their snot: drones are helping us to do it all!

Join the team from the Around the Americas Expedition with guests Ann Avary, Director for the NW Center of Excellence for Marine Manufacturing & Technology and Les Valsquier the ATA’s Director of Technology, as they work their Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) for their pole – to – pole kelp study. A ROV is vital in exploring kelp forests up close, capturing video and data from places humans can’t easily reach.

Join the 2025/26 Around the Americas Expedition team for an inspiring classroom experience as they “close the loop” on their extraordinary journey around North and South America.

After thousands of miles at sea, months of gathering ocean data, meeting coastal communities, and witnessing the beauty and challenges of our marine world, the crew is returning with stories that can spark a new generation of ocean stewards.

In this special session, the team will share their reflections on the expedition’s highs and lows, the scientific discoveries that surprised them, and the real-world impacts they’ve seen from climate change,  and shifting marine ecosystems. Students will hear firsthand what it feels like to navigate powerful currents, collaborate with researchers across the hemisphere, and live each day with the ocean as their constant companion.

Most importantly, the crew will highlight the meaningful actions young people can take right now—small steps that collectively create big change for our planet’s future. From field science to citizen initiatives, from coastal care to creative advocacy, they’ll offer concrete ways for students to use their voices, curiosity, and passion to protect our shared ocean.

This is more than a recap of a voyage—it’s an invitation to join a movement.
Welcome aboard, future ocean stewards.
