Blue Water EduFest 2023 will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, yacht owners, entrepreneurs, eco-visionaries, media influencers, and ocean enthusiasts who are passionate about coastal and marine conservation.
"At SUTL and ONE°15 Marina, the ocean lies at the very heart of our business and operations. We bear a profound responsibility to uphold the conservation of this precious marine ecosystem. Through the 2nd edition of Blue Water EduFest 2023, I would like to rally our business collaborators, stakeholders, and the yachting community to unite and take action, to protect our oceans and coastlines for the well-being of future generations. By embracing the mindset of "leaving it to others", we can never be a catalyst for change!" exclaimed Mr Arthur Tay, CEO and Executive Director of SUTL Enterprise and the brainchild of Blue Water EduFest.
The event features a two-day conference, The Ocean Collective Summit, in partnership with The International SeaKeepers Society and The Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Centre. Esteemed speakers will emphasise marine conservation through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and fireside chats.

This gathering will unite changemakers, advocates, and collaborators, empowering our community in the region to drive impactful change for our oceans," shared Mr Julian Chang, Board Member and President of The International SeaKeepers Society Asia.
The pinnacle of the event is Blue Water Heroes which showcases and honours young and passionate individuals dedicated to marine preservation in Southeast Asia. Winners from last year will present insightful accounts of their ongoing research and conservation work.
