Healthy Oceans for our Future, with Sigi Gruber

Send us Fan MailAt last - we're covering the life aquatic on GoodGeist! How are our oceans critical to our survival and what can we do to protect them? Join us on as we unravel these essential questions with Sigi Gruber, the former head of the Healthy Ocean and Seas Unit at the European Commission. Sigi brings to light some shocking statistics, like the staggering 12 million metric tons of plastic dumped into our oceans annually, and explains the extraordinary contributions of coral reefs, sea grass, and mangroves in sustaining life on Earth. We also talk with Sigi about the European Union’s bold initiatives for maritime and aquatic sustainability, including the ambitious 'Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030' Moonshot Mission, and we cover the Mediterranean's unique challenges and successes, such as the impactful Blue Med Initiative. Have a listen now! Follow GoodGeist for more episodes on sustainability, communications and how creativity can help make the world a better place.
