Blue Marble Benefit

• June 8, 2021
• World Ocean Day
• Venue: Hayes Mansion

2018 marked the first Blue Marble event held at the Bently Reserve, where the vision for the BayEcotarium was unveiled with opening remarks by Dr. Sylvia Earle and the Key Note address by the First Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden. The Blue Carpet Reception pays homage to the first image of our BLUE PLANET – Earth – taken on December 7, 1972, from a distance of about 29,000 kilometers (18,000 miles) by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft on its way to the Moon, and is one of the most reproduced images in history. On July 21, 2015, NASA released a new Blue Marble photograph taken by a U.S. Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), a solar weather and Earth observation satellite that was launched in February 2015.

The Blue Marble Benefit is a celebration of Life on earth and our commitment to nurture its beauty and its rich biodiversity. The 2021 theme focuses on noise pollution and high decibel levels in oceans impacting marine life.
