Planet Beyond Podcast

Ocean science for planetary health

planetbeyond.jpg

We have one planet and one ocean system, but its health is in rapid decline. We bring together leading experts to discuss how science could save our oceans. The timing could not be more critical as 2021 saw the launch of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science. The initiative aims to improve our understanding of the world’s largest ecosystem. A wide range of data gathering projects have already begun but there remains much more to do if we are to get the science we need for the ocean we want and reverse the damage that humans have caused.
