NatureBridge Hosts Ocean Conservationist Norah Eddy
Last week, NatureBridge had the pleasure of welcoming 65 guests to our Point Bonita campus in the Marin Headlands for a memorable evening with Norah Eddy, a leader in marine conservation and head of The Nature Conservancy’s ocean recovery initiative. With beautiful weather, a shared meal provided, and the ocean not far from view, it was the perfect setting to gather in community and explore what it means to protect the wild places we love.
Norah brought a deep and compelling perspective to the conversation during her presentation—sharing the urgent reality that California’s northern kelp forests have declined by 96% over the past decade. But alongside that sobering statistic, she offered hope. Her work is focused on restoring kelp, native oyster, and seagrass ecosystems across California and beyond, using cutting-edge science, innovative tools, and collaborative policy work.
Engaging breakout and Q&A sessions sparked meaningful dialogue, expanding our shared understanding of the urgent issues facing our oceans—and the powerful role collaboration and innovation can play in restoring them.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this inspiring night. We’re so grateful to Norah for sharing her knowledge and vision—and to our community for showing up with such curiosity, care, and commitment. We look forward to more evenings like this one.
