Douglas Woodring , Founder, Ocean Recovery Alliance
Mr.
Woodring is an environmental entrepreneur, a writer, a competitive
athlete, a sports event organizer and a creative innovator on community
issues. He is the co- founder of Ocean Recovery Alliance, a non-profit
organization which is focused on bringing innovative solutions,
technology, collaborations and policy together to impact positive
improvements for the health of the ocean. Two of the projects currently
being launched were announced at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2010,
the Global Alert platform, and the Plastic Disclosure Project. In 2008
he co-founded Project Kaisei, which focused on the plastic in the North
Pacific Gyre, and he is a UNEP Climate Hero for his efforts.
Mr. Woodring has been on the advisory board of the XPrize, and the Economist’s World Oceans Summit, and in 2011, he co-authored the United Nations Environmental Program Yearbook chapter on the danger of plastic in the ocean. He was also the founder of Plasticity at the Rio+20 Earth Summit, a one-day side event focused on the future of plastic, and where the leaders are going with solutions, innovations, and opportunities. He is a much sought after speaker at major environmental conferences, universities and corporate programs.
Mr Woodring has worked in Asia for almost 20 years in a number of industries which have been at the forefront of technology within their sectors, mainly related to the environment and new media platforms. Prior to working with technology startups, while at Merrill Lynch Asset Management Hong Kong in 1998, he proposed the company’s first global environmental technology fund which was later launched in 2001. He started his career in Japan, working for one of the largest fishing companies in the world, which is partly where his drive for ocean protection originates. Mr Woodring is active in the environmental community, and has been the Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce’s Environmental Committee in Hong Kong, and helped to start the Hong Kong Shark Foundation, dealing with the overfishing of sharks around the world. He has recently been nominated as World Open Water Swimmer of the Year for his innovative contributions to the sport. Born in Northern California, Mr Woodring has a dual masters degree from The Wharton School (MBA) and Johns Hopkins University, School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) where he studied Environmental Economics. He has an undergraduate degree in Economics and Political Science from the University of California at Berkeley.
