On July 19th, Sam Waterston, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Dean Norris, Jeff Goldblum, June Diane Raphael, Brooklyn Decker, Andy Roddick, Charlie Day, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Paul Scheer, Anthony LaPaglia, Rosanna Arquette, Baron Vaughn and Kelly Lynch joined Sting at an exclusive concert in support of Oceana, the world’s largest international ocean conservation organization. Hosted by Oceana Board President Keith Addis, the event raised $750,000 for Oceana’s Save the Oceans, Feed the World campaign. Oceana seeks to restore the biodiversity and abundance of the world’s oceans to support a growing global population.

Sting, a longtime supporter of Oceana and a dedicated oceans advocate, gave an intimate performance featuring many of his greatest hits. Sting and his world-class band opened with the iconic Message in a Bottle. The following hour was filled with hit after hit including Every Little Thing She Does is Magic and Fields of Gold. As dancing guests gathered at the front of the stage, Sting closed with The Police’s 1983 number-one hit Every Breath You Take. “Tonight was a truly special event. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to enjoy the music of a world-class musician like Sting while supporting Oceana,” said Oceana board member Ted Danson.

Guests also received an exclusive preview of Global Fishing Watch, an interactive digital platform built by Oceana in partnership with Google and SkyTruth that uses satellite data to visualize the history of commercial vessels’ fishing activities worldwide. The platform will be available to anyone in the world with internet access following its public launch later this year. Throughout the night, guests were treated to specialty cocktails provided by Nolet Silver Gin, Ketel One and St. Raphael Aperitif. The event was sponsored by Panerai Watches.
