Ocean Hoptimism

About

Ocean Hoptimism is a vibrant monthly gathering where ocean conservation, science, exploration, culture, recreation, and policy collide—alongside a shared love for local craft beer. Open to all and free to attend, this San Francisco Bay Area event sparks inspiration by uniting people who care about our blue planet. Each month features a different ocean expert who shares their work and stories, adding fresh perspectives to the conversation. Great ideas flow when passionate minds connect, and what better way to foster meaningful conversations than over a pint? In a welcoming, relaxed setting, we spotlight new ideas and initiatives aimed at helping the ocean, engage in open dialogue, support a local brewery, and strengthen civic engagement in ocean issues—one sip at a time.
