39 : Sailing the Sea for Cheaper and more Effective Research with Project Manaia

Informações:

Synopsis

What is the future of the Mediterranean? How does the pressure from tourists impact the sea? Is there time to turn things around? What does marine biology truly look like? With our oceans facing agricultural run off, a wave of marine debris, invasive species, and destructions of habitats a way forward is through science. Manuel from the small marine conservation NGO works with individuals to make science data collection cheaper and easier. Join Katt in the discussion of the current state of the Mediterranean, what projects Project Manaia has helped pioneer, and what life on a boat looks like. We chat about coral restoration in Myanmar, how seagrass seeds every seven years, and how the Mediterranean has become the 6th plastic gyre.
