Indiana Jones himself stepped out at the annual SeaChange Summer Party in Laguna Beach, California, accompanied by fiancee Calista Flockhart.
The evening's celebrations paid tribute to the campaigning Harrison has done for the environment.
Speaking before the fundraiser got under way, the notoriously quiet star was more that willing to talk about his passion: "The oceans are important and we need to develop a political will and a political mechanism to maintain some form of governance over the oceans beyond the territorial limits that nations now have affect over."
He explained: "We don't even know where the large fishes go to migrate, to breed and spawn, so we need a lot more information about the ocean and its effect on the climate."
The actor currently sits on the board of directors for Conservation International - a group which is trying to protect the Earth's biodiversity hotspots.
Earlier this year, he even waxed a portion of his chest hair in an advert aimed at illustrating the effect of deforestation.
