Track the Expedition

The Ocean Doctor’s "50 Years – 50 States – 50 Speeches Expedition" is a one-year journey of outreach, education, and discovery announced on my 50th birthday (October 6, 2008) to bring at no charge a speech about the oceans to schools in all 50 U.S. states plus territories. By its culmination at the end of 2009, I hope to reach more than 100 schools to share firsthand accounts, stories, humor, passion, and important lessons about the oceans and their conservation.
