Coming out of the rigidity of government, Linzi Hawkin asked herself: How can we find creative and innovative ways to talk about ocean that will engage people and make a greater impact?

Her answer came in multiple forms and settings, from running music festivals to developing creative school curricula. As an educator and communicator, she has traveled the world to find new ways to spark conversations about sustainability and conservation.

As we approach World Ocean Day on June 8, Linzi is staying busy bringing more blue into the lives of students as a co-founder of  @ProtectBlue  which works to connect students with the ocean through stories and action, even if they live hundreds of miles from the coast. For example, Protect Blue is shifting the narrative around plastic pollution from focusing only on the conversations from the harmful effects of plastic pollution, for example, to broaden the imagination for designing imagining plastic-free the futures and, while also working on tangible projects right now.

Linzi talks with Kate Wing, our Better Worlds Ocean podcast host, about building narratives not about what is wrong with the world, but around what a regenerative future can look like, especially in the ocean. Linzi shares her excitement around the power of surf culture, restoration projects, and innovative new products. Tune in to learn about Eco boards, sea trees and more.
