Ocean Literacy & Conservation

The key to protecting our oceans is understanding them. So, today, host Dr. Samantha Yammine leans into learning about the power and struggles of the environments that keep our planet blue. From the power of bioluminescence and how it’s changed how we study molecular biology to the importance of salt for our bodies and cultures, there is so much to absorb when it comes to our oceans. Then, producer Teresa Carey speaks with Dr. Gabby Ahmadia from the World Wildlife Fund about the importance of community-based conservation, research in coastal communities and how, with the right methodologies and funding, there is hope for our ocean’s health in the future.
