What if cruise ships could help restore ocean ecosystems instead of harming them? Dr. Jenn Bonilla and Captain Hugo Hinrichsen present Positive Polar, an ambitious initiative to transform ship waste into whale poop analogues that mimic the natural fertilization whales once provided, supporting both marine life and carbon removal.

Combining science, real-world deployment, and citizen participation, this session explores how cruise passengers can contribute to research and ecosystem recovery. With compelling visuals and an unexpected but grounded approach, it offers a fresh perspective on what scalable climate solutions can look like.
