Last week, audiences across the UK came together for nationwide screenings of @xtrillionfilm in collaboration with @finisterre.

From Falmouth to Edinburgh, Bristol to Holt, it was incredible to see so many of you gather to watch the film, share stories, and connect over our shared mission to turn the tide on ocean plastic.

With powerful post-film panels and heartfelt conversations, one thing was clear: this is more than a film - it’s a movement.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, hosted, and helped bring X Trillion to life across the country. Let’s keep the momentum going. Let’s keep the conversation alive. Let’s take action, together!

Our founder @missemilypenn joined world leaders, scientists, and changemakers at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, at the heart of conversations shaping the future of our ocean.

Emily hosted a session in the EU Pavilion about bridging the gap between data and decisions: we know the ocean is polluted - so how do we get science-based information to the decision makers, so they can make good decisions? And that goes for all of us - citizens, business leaders, and policymakers alike - needing access to data to make impactful choices in our daily lives.

It’s one thing, to be out there, seeing marine pollution with your own eyes, but the panelists shared different tools and technologies that can be used to bring the hidden realities of what’s happening in remote ocean regions, into the spotlight, here on land.

There are still some big questions to be answered about how we move forward, collaboratively, but the panel really demonstrated that the tools, technologies, data and solutions are ready and available - it’s now down to us to act!

We’re proud to have been part of UNOC3 and even more excited to be launching the next chapter for eXXpedition. As we scale our expeditions we remain committed to getting out there and collecting data that drives science-based solutions at the source.
