Strange Seas: Weird & Wonderful Delights of the Deep with Elissa Philips and Henri Brocklebank

Dive into an evening of storytelling where orcas rebel, anglerfish steal the spotlight, and the deep sea lights up with bioluminescent magic. Not your average ocean talk – expect sass, sparkle, and sea creatures with attitude with Elissa Phillips, Director of Incredible Oceans.

Elissa Phillips, Director of Incredible Oceans, is a voice for the sea and one of today’s most dynamic anti-whaling campaigners. She’s been invited to COP29 to speak on commercial whaling and recently brought human rights into the spotlight while moderating a high-profile panel at the UN Ocean Summit. When she’s not on the world stage, Elissa is on the road with Incredible Oceans captivating audiences with strange and wonderful ocean stories and inspiring action to protect our blue planet.

Henri Brocklebank is director of Sussex Wildlife. She will be exploring our coast's least-known complex ecosystem – its stunning kelp forests, and highlighting their plight in the face of trawling and biodiversity loss.
