Opening Remarks: Charting a Bluer Future | OceanX Summit 2026

From the creator

Dr. Sylvia Earle opens the final day of the OceanX Summit 2026, looking ahead to the next generation of ocean explorers. Few people have seen ocean exploration evolve the way Sylvia Earle has. Seventy years and a hundred expeditions later, exploration has become shared, connected and open to far more people than ever before. Here she looks forward: to what a new generation of explorers can reach, to the ocean literacy that turns discovery into public understanding, and to this region in particular, where the Coral Triangle holds some of the richest marine life on Earth and local leadership is showing what protection can achieve. We know more now than ever before, and more than enough to act on. The session closes with remarks from OceanX Co-founder Ray Dalio, thanking Sylvia for her contribution to OceanX and to ocean exploration.
