The Ocean Connects

Change maker Emily Penn is the cofounder of eXXpedition, a community interest company and nonprofit organization that runs pioneering all-women sailing expeditions researching ocean plastic pollution. She has spent the last eight years leading trips to remote parts of the planet to connect with the challenges facing our oceans. When she is not leading expeditions, Penn spends her time developing upstream solutions to the ocean plastic epidemic with corporate partners, scientists, and government bodies.
