Gunster is proud to support the Eleventh Annual Go Blue Awards sponsored by Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Go Blue Awards recognizes individuals and organizations who are leading the community in practicing ocean conservation and are on the leading edge of going "Blue!" The Annual Go Blue Awards Luncheon will be held on Friday, October 25, 2019 at the Kravis Center's Cohen Pavilion in West Palm Beach, and will feature special guest and keynote speaker, Dr. Robert Ballard.
Dr. Robert Ballard is best known for his 1985 discovery of the RMS Titanic, and has succeeded in tracking down numerous other significant shipwrecks, including the German battleship Bismarck, the lost fleet of Guadalcanal, and John F. Kennedy’s boat, PT-109. In 2008, Dr. Ballard founded the Ocean Exploration Trust and acquired his ship of exploration, EV Nautilus. Dr. Ballard is also a National Geographic Society Explorer-In-Residence, a commissioner on the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy and a Senior Scientist Emeritus in the Department of Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
