Listen "Humans rely on the ocean. Here's how both can thrive"
Episode Synopsis
Humans rely on the ocean, not just for food, but for industries such as shipping, telecommunications, and renewable energy - as well as its vital role in absorbing carbon and regulating the climate. Is there a way to make our interactions with the ocean beneficial to the ecosystems? Alfredo Giron, head of Friends of Ocean Action, believes 'Marine Prosperity Areas' could do just that.
