Oceanographer John Delaney is leading a team to construct an underwater network of high-definition cameras and sensors. This project aims to transform our oceans into a global interactive lab, generating an abundance of data about the world below.

Delaney, a Professor of Oceanography at the University of Washington, is also Principal Investigator and Director of the Regional Scale Nodes Program, holding the Jerome M. Paros Endowed Chair in Sensor Networks. His innovative work is featured on TED.com.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Barton Gellman was among three reporters chosen by Edward Snowden to review classified files exposing U.S. government surveillance. Gellman then investigated deeper, enduring legal threats and foreign intelligence attempts to steal his files.

Join Gellman, author of "Dark Mirror," with moderator Anne Kornblut (Head of Global Curation, Facebook) for a detailed look at Edward Snowden, America's surveillance state (now and post-COVID), and Gellman's personal experience of being surveilled.

Maanit Goel, 17, from Washington State, learned about the critically endangered Southern Resident orcas. Only 75 remain in the Salish Sea, threatened by declining Chinook salmon, their primary food source, in the Snake River-Columbia River system.

In 2021, Goel founded the Washington Youth Ocean & River Conservation Alliance (WYORCA) to mobilize youth. WYORCA advocates removing four lower Snake River dams, impeding salmon migration and harming orcas. Goel argues renewable energy shouldn't sacrifice a keystone species. With 30 volunteers, WYORCA educated over 6,000 students, held 20+ congressional meetings, and coordinated events. The group earned Congressional recognition and an EPA award; Goel also spoke at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15).

Washington's recovering wolf population faces flawed state management. Despite public support, the state wildlife agency, influenced by the livestock industry, continues lethal wolf management and defied Governor Inslee's reform orders. This approach lacks accountability, transparency, and science-based nonlethal strategies.

Learn from experts Amaroq Weiss, Claire Loebs Davis, and Samantha Bruegger how to transform Washington into a leader for wolf conservation. The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, protects species through science and law.

Energy companies like Ambre Energy and Arch Coal Inc. propose transforming Southwest Washington and Pacific Northwest ports into major shipping hubs. These 14 plans would establish a vast transfer

Energy companies like Ambre Energy and Arch Coal Inc. propose transforming Southwest Washington and Pacific Northwest ports into major shipping hubs. These 14 plans would establish a vast transfer station for coal and oil extracted from America's heartland, destined for domestic and overseas markets, primarily in Asia, to meet growing energy demands.

This initiative is part of a global realignment of valuable oil and coal resources. The documentary "Momenta" explores the impact of these proposals and the citizen groups opposing them.
