Sea Change: Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions

The unknown story of fishermen and environmentalists who turned collapse into cooperation, and why it matters for every resource crisis we face…

Oceans were once a case study in collapse: collapsing stocks, collapsing trust, collapsing hope. Then came a quietly radical shift. This talk reveals how wild fish, once written off as hopeless, staged a rapid recovery in the U.S. by transforming rivalry into stewardship. The remarkable narrative of ocean resilience challenges our assumptions about the commons, and sparks new ways of thinking about climate, cooperation, and the future of our relationship with the natural world. Come hear how former antagonists converted destructive competition into durable cooperation, with lessons that extend from reefs to rangelands, from carbon to groundwater.
