Authors China Miéville and Philip Hoare, poet John Wedgwood Clarke, artists Alec Finlay, Bik van der Pol and Mariele Neudecker, and marine biologist and oceans campaigner Professor Alex Rogers Oxford University will be just some of the presenters at symposium in Hull this week called Sounding the Sea.

This wide range of people will discuss a wide variety of topics. These range from deep sea marine life to plastic in the ocean to Hull’s maritime history to rising sea levels.
