Roz and Rob at Ocean Champions Reception Experience how Roz and ORI's Rob Moir, PhD, enable people everywhere to meet challenges for healthy oceans and cleaner skies, challenges of climate change to bring about maximum effect in minimum time. Rob will tell how together we can defeat atmospheric assaults of lethal over-heatings, fatal freezings to turn toxic tides where 50% of the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean. That's every other breath we take.

The benefit will be held in the ballroom by the Regatta Bar - a multi-media presentation by Roz Savage telling her stories from her Pacific Ocean with introduction by ORI Director Rob Moir.
