Ocean Zone - Nature X Design

HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE OCEANS

WHAT ARE THE UNSEEN CONSEQUENCES OF OUR TASTES ON THE OCEAN?

From fisheries and aquaculture to global commerce, the externalities of our decisions have been marooned at sea. Such overexploitation leading to countless environmental and humanitarian injustices. It is time to chart a course in a more sustainable and equitable direction - Could the ocean's own organisms be the key?

In honor of United Nations World Oceans Day, and the Decade of Ocean Science, Ocean Non-Profit Founders Ian Urbina (The Outlaw Ocean Project) and Bren Smith (GreenWave) come together to discuss ocean affairs and learn from one another's creative approaches to advocate for and regenerate healthy and productive oceans.
