Public Speaking Events

Wendy is a prominent global public speaker. She has delivered keynote addresses for a wide range of prestigious organizations—the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Urban Blue Cities (in Milan), Shedd Aquarium, the New England Aquarium, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, among others—who value her optimistic and knowledgeable perspective about the state of our blue planet and the importance of engaging a wider public audience to understand and support important conservation efforts.

From uproarious stories of the early days of ‘Jaws’ and filming on Martha’s Vineyard with a young, unknown director named Steven Spielberg, to working behind the scenes with multiple organizations and policy makers to help create more marine protected areas across the globe and stopping the practice of illegal fishing and shark finning, Wendy brings the ocean and the urgent need to protect it to life for audiences in a uniquely entertaining and engaging way.
