Turn up. Speak out. Dive in. 

Big Blue Ideas is a new series from the Australian National Maritime Museum about the future of our ocean.  

Forget doom and gloom—this is not your typical climate conversation.  

Big Blue Ideas is where action meets imagination, where science meets hope.  

We’re not here to preach. We’re here to explore positive ideas, practical solutions.  

From AI and conservation tech to cultural storytelling and deep-sea discovery, these talks put you in a room with innovators, scientists, artists, and disruptors.  

Join the conversation. Let’s talk about the world we want to have.
