California Ocean Communicators Workshops Are the Mechanism Through Which Ocean Communicators Are Brought Together Exhibit 3: Members of the Ocean Communicators Alliance (as of April 28, 2006) CALIFORNIA OCEAN COMMUNICATORS WORKSHOP Sponsored by NOAA National Marine Sanctuary Program, California Resources Agency and Monterey Bay Aquarium Friday, April 28, 2006 Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey, California Exhibit 3: Members of the Ocean Communicators Alliance (as of April 28, 2006) California Ocean Communicators Creating a strong voice for the Ocean in California You are California Ocean Communicators - communications professionals from ocean-related organizations, industries and agencies who work daily with ocean messages and communicate those messages to thousands, if not millions of Californians. The goal in bringing Ocean Communicators together is to increase public ocean awareness in California through agreement on messages, cooperation in communicating those messages, and engaging in coordinated projects geared towards raising public ocean awareness. California Ocean Communicators Workshops are the mechanism through which Ocean Communicators are brought together. The one-day workshops sponsored by NOAA National Marine Sanctuary Program, the State of California Resources Agency and aquarium partners, bring together California Ocean Communicators for the purpose of networking, messaging and public awareness projects. The Southern California Ocean Communicators Workshop was held in Long Beach, April 28, 2005 at the Aquarium of the Pacific. 75 marketing/communications professionals attended. Participants identified ocean messages and formed the Alliance, a network of California ocean communicators who maintain contact on ocean issues and messages. The Northern California Ocean Communicators Workshop was held in San Francisco February 10, 2006 at the California Academy of Sciences. Participants refined ocean messages identified in Southern California and recommend elements for the California Public Ocean Awareness Campaign. The Ocean Communicators Alliance’s role in increasing public ocean awareness has been written in to the California Ocean and Coastal Information, Research, and Outreach Strategy presented by the California Ocean Protection Council. Please see: http://resources.ca.gov/copc. Building a public outreach strategy is a key action in the State of California’s Ocean Action Plan. (http://resources.ca.gov/ocean/Cal_Ocean_Action_Strategy.pdf) In the following pages you will find the names of invitees and workshop participants from the Northern and Southern California workshops along with a brief description of the organizations they represent. This list represents a California-wide network of ocean communication specialists. We hope it will help in providing you with an opportunity for future cooperative messaging for ocean conservation.

The Ambassador program is designed to educate and empower 5 Gyres’ global network of supporters to take action against plastic pollution in their communities. Ambassadors are volunteers who are provided with a solid background on plastic pollution science, policy, and solutions. This knowledge is coupled with training and tools to help Ambassadors reduce their plastic footprint and inspire their communities to do the same. The Ambassador program allows 5 Gyres small, but mighty team to have a greater impact on our mission to empower action against the global health crisis of plastic pollution. To what degree were these goals and objectives achieved?

  • MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL Huge Divide Remains Between San Diego and Tijuana on Many Fronts, but Vows by Filner to Push Better Partnership Have Reawakened Visions
    MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL Huge divide remains between San Diego and Tijuana on many fronts, but vows by Filner to push better partnership have reawakened visions By Sandra Dibble12:01 a.m.Jan. 27, 2013Updated10:25 p.m.Jan. 25, 2013 • Print Save Comments 6 A joint economy that creates more jobs on both sides of the border. A binational hub of technological, cultural and culinary innovation. An ever-closer collaboration on shared water resources. A united regional voice that echoes loudly in Washington, D.C., and Mexico City. These are the dreams of people pushing for stronger ties between Tijuana and San Diego. Despite numerous efforts over the years, the two cities have remained distant neighbors on many fronts. Following a difficult decade that saw tighter U.S. security measures, drug violence in Mexico, a drop in U.S. visitors to Baja California and an economic downturn on both sides, vows by San Diego Mayor Bob Filner to boost binational ties have reawakened visions of the region’s myriad possibilities. “There is an enormous potential for connections that have not been made, of ties that haven’t been woven,” said Tonatiuh Guillén López, president of Colegio de la Frontera Norte, a Tijuana- based think tank with offices along Mexico’s northern border. “San Diego and Tijuana have a shared destiny,” said Teddy Cruz, co-director of the Center for Urban Ecologies at UC San Diego. The region must be re-imagined, he said, “not only through issues of security, but through shared natural and socioeconomic resources.” Above all, there must be “a culture shift,” said Diane Takvorian of the San Diego-based Environmental Health Coalition, which has projects in both countries.

  • Marine Biodiversity: Using the Past to Inform the November 14 – 17, 2003
    Conference Report, November 2003 Marine Biodiversity: Using the Past to Inform the November 14 – 17, 2003 Nancy Knowlton, Enric Sala & Jeremy Jackson Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California, San Diego Conference Report Sarah Mesnick This interim report covers the second conference hosted by the Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (CMBC) and supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s Known, Unknown, Unknowable (KUU) Program. Our shared goal is to explore the structure and limits to knowledge of marine ecosystems and the implications of the state of our knowledge to research, policy and society at large. Marine Biodiversity: Using the Past to Inform the Future The second KUU conference, “Marine Biodiversity: Using the Past to Inform the Future” was held 14-17 November 2003 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The purpose of the conference was to highlight the importance of understanding past ecosystems and how they have changed, and to ask how we can make use of this historical perspective to better understand the present and to safeguard and manage the future. A major contributor to the success of the conference was the diversity of over 220 participants, who represented an international mix of producers and users of knowledge (please see attached list of participants). Seventy percent of the participants were social and natural scientists from academia and 30% were professionals from intergovernmental, governmental and non-governmental organizations, the media, educational institutions, law firms, and funding organizations. The agenda featured five sessions, each comprised of a plenary talk and discussion followed by panel presentations and another open discussion (please see attached agenda).
