Ocean biodiversity is not only critical to the health of our planet, but it’s also the foundation for our food web and has a huge impact on the global economy. On this podcast, we’ll talk about the latest discoveries in ocean science, the newest thinking on pricing nature into our economy, and how machine learning and AI are helping us better understand ocean ecology.
We’ll talk to marine biologists, economists, data scientists and explorers from all over the world who will share why and how we must preserve the biodiversity in our ocean.
Happy listening!
