Rethinking Our Global Ocean | Sunil Shastri | Podcast: Episode 3
Channel: Thrivability Matters
Date: 2022-03-03

Oceans account for some 70% of the earth’s surface but did you know that they hold the vast majority of global pollution? International expert and consultant, Sunil Murlidhar Shastri, joins us to discuss Life Below Water (UN Sustainable Development Goal 14), and how our global ocean affects the world around us. 

Sunil explains how seagrass, coral and mangroves are also huge carbon sinks, and how we must all urgently re-think our understanding of oceans in the global environmental crisis. 

We look at international efforts to reduce pollution, greenhouse gases and overfishing, and discuss the effects of ‘maritime slavery’ in the fishing and shipping industries. (40 mins)
