Consider This: Ocean Literacy (Part 2) — The ‘Seatizen’ Effect

Southeast Asia sits at the heart of one of the world's most biodiverse marine regions but despite many of us living in maritime nations, we rarely think about how the ocean shapes everything from our climate and food security, to trade and the economy. So what happens when societies depend on the ocean, but don't fully understand it? And can we protect what we do not understand? A growing movement of educators, scientists and advocates believes ocean literacy may be a way to address this. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Anna Oposa, Co-founder of Save Philippine Seas, and member of UNESCO’s Group of Experts for Ocean Literacy for the WESTPAC region.
