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.

Can AI talk whale?
Thursday 19 February | 6.30pm
From tracking sharks to scanning the ocean floor, artificial intelligence is already reshaping how we explore, protect and manage the sea—but could it go even further? Like... decoding whale language?
This talk gets into the wild world of ocean AI—where neural networks meet coral reefs.
Can it really help us restore ecosystems, outsmart overfishing and clean up pollution, or are we handing too much power to the algorithm?
