Turning the Tide ReturnsQuestPoint

Turning the Tide Returns to Fort Baker April 14-16, 2010 to Explore Creative Solutions to Global Sustainability Issues

The Institute at the Golden Gate reinforces its mission to “connect, collaborate, inspire and act” on behalf of the environment by holding its second annual Turning the Tide conference, April 14-16, 2010. Over three days, the Institute will host several hundred environmentalists, scientists, business leaders, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs and youth activists at its headquarters at Fort Baker in Sausalito.

As in 2009, this year’s Turning the Tide will unite eco-innovators from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines—reflecting the collaborative mission of the Institute, a program of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in partnership with the National Park Service. Industry leaders representing a diverse cross-section of expertise and perspectives will gather at the Institute to forge solutions to today’s most pressing environmental issues—from climate change and the health of the oceans to water conservation, waste management and wildlife preservation.

To date, confirmed participants include natural health guru Dr. Andrew Weil; sustainable food leader Alice Waters; Nobel Laureate and climate scientist Stephen Schneider; Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Kennedy; Ocean Voyages Institute president Mary Crowley, and many others. Eco-adventurer David de Rothschild, a 2009 Turning the Tide participant, is scheduled to participate via live satellite feed from his Plastiki catamaran as he navigates the Pacific on his quest to raise awareness of ocean pollution. In addition, several of last year’s Turning the Tide participants will be on hand to discuss the actions that resulted from their attendance in 2009.

In an effort to reach a broad global audience, the Institute will webcast several conference keynotes and breakout sessions during Turning the Tide, and will engage the public in real-time discussions via Twitter and Facebook feeds. All interactive components can be accessed through the Institute’s home page at www.instituteatgoldengate.org
