Happy Friday, all!

We just wanted to remind you about the The Economist‘s fast-approaching World Oceans Summit where 200 global leaders, including our CEO Andy Sharpless, will discuss the future of our oceans.

The summit, which takes place in Singapore from Feb. 22-24, will offer a robust examination of the future of the seas, the importance of the sustainable use of the oceans, and what this means for business.

Featured speakers include:

  • Robert Zoellick, President, World Bank (Keynote speaker)
  • John Micklethwait, Editor-in-chief, The Economist; and Chairman, World Oceans Summit
  • Anote Tong, President, Republic of Kiribati
  • Teo Chee Hean, Deputy Prime Minister, Government of Singapore
  • Andrew Sharpless, Chief Executive Officer, Oceana
  • David Miliband, Member of Parliament, United Kingdom
  • Sylvia Earle, Explorer-in-residence, National Geographic Society
