Didn’t Become a Marine Biologist, But I'm saving the Ocean My Way | Katie Williams | TEDxDelrayBeach

Can art and technology save our oceans? In this inspiring TEDxDelrayBeach talk, ocean activist Katie Williams shares her journey from childhood dreams of being a mermaid to leading groundbreaking marine conservation efforts. Blending creativity, science, and 3D technology, Katie and her all-women team build underwater sculptures that double as coral reef habitats—reviving ecosystems and inspiring communities across generations. A mother, innovator, and lifelong ocean lover, Katie challenges us to rethink our impact on the planet—and to believe that small actions can ripple into powerful change. Learn how art can restore nature, reshape communities, and awaken a new generation of ocean guardians. Katie Williams, a marine conservationist and Director of Marketing at Ocean Rescue Alliance International, leverages her education in Business Psychology and MBA to pioneer underwater sculptures that double as reefs. She works to help restore coral ecosystems and educates communities, showcasing the synergy between art, science, and conservation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
