About this Event
One afternoon. One ocean. A whole lot of hope. 🌊
Join us for the 3rd Annual OceanLove Innovation Award Ceremony — a celebration of what's going right for the ocean, and the people making it happen.
This October, for the first time, the ceremony lands in Los Angeles, hosted at AltaSea, Port of LA, before continuing on to Cairo in 2027. From The Hague to Barcelona to LA, this is a movement that travels the world on purpose.
What's waiting for you:
🎤 Voices that move you — Innovators, and changemakers from around the world
🌍 The winners announcement — celebrating this year's best early-stage ocean ideas, chosen from 400 applications across 80 countries
🎬 Screening of Haagua, an Indigenous surf film about Native surfers from these very waters
🐠 An exhibition fair — meet innovators, student organizations, and NGOs working toward a healthier ocean
🤝 A room full of people who care — students, scientists, entrepreneurs, and families. Open to all ages, everyone welcome
Backed by Global Ambassadors Dr. Sylvia Earle, Paul Polman, and Tatiana Mendes, and endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science.
"People need to participate as if their lives depend on it — because they do." — Dr. Sylvia Earle
