The Health Of Our Oceans

The Health Of Our Oceans

Many of us think of the seaside as a relaxing place to vacation. Water sports and seafood, too, often come to mind when we think about the ways in which oceans improve our lives.

But the reality is that vacations, water sports, and seafood pale in comparison to what oceans *actually* give us, which is, of course, our very existence.

Today I speak with world-renowned oceanographer and National Geographic’s Explorer-At-Large Dr. Sylvia Earle. Dr. Earle has logged over 7,000 hours underwater and she believes that ending industrial fishing should be humanity’s Number One goal. Dr. Earle is on the show to encourage us to think like scientists by asking questions, examining evidence, and making informed decisions as we plan our weekly meals.

 

Here’s a preview:

[5:00] Why the ocean is so important (and why all of us should care about preserving what’s left and restoring what’s been lost)

[11:00] The problems associated with industrial fishing

[17:45] Beyond the marketing: Is seafood really all that healthy for humans?

Sneak Peek: Influencers Aren't Friends

Influencer marketing is a case study in how easy it is to sell things to followers who trust their favorite online personalities. But offering that elusive 'personal recommendation' for EVERYthing has normalized both inauthentic endorsing and impulse shopping. It has normalized the buying and selling of your precious attention, too.
