Charles Vinick is one of the elder statesman of the marine environmental movement. He has long been an educator, marine mammal activist, youth mentor, and film producer throughout his career.  Charles has received commendations from the White House for his work with youth education and from the Los Angeles City Council for community environmentalism. He has also worked with non profits, and in business with renewable energy and technology companies.  A member of the Whale Sanctuary Project Board of Directors since mid-2016, Charles brings a unique blend of leadership and experience to his role as Executive Director.  With a strong background in business that includes extensive experience in ocean + environmental policy, project management and government relations, Charles keeps current with a solid vision for the future. The Whale Sanctuary Project, his most ambitious yet,  with Jean Michel, is creating the first North American seaside sanctuary for captive cetaceans in Nova Scotia. For over 40 years, Charles has worked alongside the Cousteau family, early on with Jacques Yves and currently with Jean-Michel, helping these preeminent ocean explorers establish, grow and sustain multiple initiatives.  As an adviser, and cofounder of the Cousteau Centers, Inc., Charles developed and managed Parc Oceanique Cousteau, an ocean education and entertainment complex in Paris. He shepherded the growth of the Cousteau Society and, from 1993 through 2003, served as Executive Vice President of the Jean-Michel Cousteau Institute and Ocean Futures Society, which produced educational programs as well as films about the ocean and the environment. During that time he was privileged to serve as director of the highly-publicized Keiko Project, a pioneering effort that marshaled public and media support to reintroduce to the wild the captive Orca made famous through the “Free Willy” films.LEARN MORE ABOUT CHARLES VINICK AND THE WHALE SANCTUARY PROJECT here:  Follow Charles on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-vinick-67b02b14Whale Sanctuary Website: https://whalesanctuaryproject.org/Whale Sancturary Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whalesanctuaryproject/Conversation with Jean-Michel Cousteau: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XXd78yeHNsTEDx Whales Without Walls: https://www.ted.com/talks/charles_vinick_whales_without_walls/transcript?language=enWhales Without Walls short film: https://vimeo.com/385049610Long Gone Wild Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5T2AOjpSZsCharles Vinick + Ecosphere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ6PbgaVw4ALearn more about Keiko’s Legacy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07rItwjRutIBeluga Whale Safety PSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya2tLyMCgXE&amp;t=45sGabby Reece Interview:  https://thegabbyreeceshow.libsyn.com/charles-vinick-on-marine-life-intelligence-amongst-wildlife-activism-and-the-legacy-of-keiko“Today a family can go whale watching, for probably less money, and a greater experience than going to a marine park” - Charles Vinick TO SUGGEST A GUEST YOU CAN REACH US here: guest@ourepicocean.com or take the EPIC OCEAN CHALLENGE follow this link: https://www.ourepicocean.com/challengevid

Charles Vinick - Executive Director, the Whale Sanctuary Project.  Former E.V.P. Ocean Futures Society + V.P. Cousteau Society. | EP 20

On today's show is Executive Director of The Whale Sanctuary project marine mammal activist Mr. Charles Vinick. Remember Free Willy? Well, along with an incredible team Charles shares his story of being a part of trying to reintroduce Keiko (actor who played Willy) back into the wild after the Free Willy film stars thousands of fans insisted he be liberated from his tiny tank in Mexico City. Funny what kids know is right without being told.I loved this conversation with Charles for a number of reasons. I'm intrigued by how intelligent Orcas, dolphins, and beluga whales are. Charles shares details about their language and social structure. One that is reliant upon connection, cooperation and family just like us.The other thing that I felt was important about this talk is the shining example Charles unknowingly is. Is he an activist? Without a doubt. Has he dedicated his life to getting people to re think some of our social norms re: these majestic animals being in captivity? Yes. Does he do it with anger or blame? Calm and clear, and most importantly Charles wants to work with the parks to make this shift and not villainize them, but to focus on the right move for the animals already in captivity. What is being done to stop China from ordering baby Orcas and Belugas from Russian fishermen? Some fetching up to 5 million dollars each. In a day and age where everyone is yelling, his whisper like voice rings clear as a bell. A real life adult who is willing to stand up for what he believes is right. Join us and find out if Keiko ever made it back to Iceland. Enjoy To learn more or donate to the Whale Sanctuary Project go to whalesanctuaryproject.orgwww.helloned.com/GABBY for 15% off your first one-time order or 20% off your first subscription order plus FREE shipping!www.getbeast.com with code Gabby at checkout to save 20% on your next order!The Gabby Reece Show talks to top experts with the goal of extracting the best information you will need to navigate the universe of health, fitness, relationships, parenting, and business.
