Event Series Event Series: Tales of the Sea – The SHIPS Project

Tales of the Sea – The SHIPS Project

January 28 @ 7:00 pm 8:30 pm

The SHIPS Project lecture series Tales of The Sea is a selection of inspirational and informative talks about the sea; how we work, play and interact with the sea and how our actions or lack of action affect the marine environment. The talks are on important subjects we should be discussing about our seas and oceans. 

Our speakers are pushing boundaries and are leaders in their field, they will talk about their passions and their work related to the sea. These talks are designed to raise awareness and create a narrative about maritime subjects and how they relate to you, bringing people together in an environment that allows inquisitive discussion.

The Tales of the Sea lecture series is on occasional Tuesday evenings and runs from January to May 2025, see the list of talks below.
