Who Really Wins When Marine Sanctuaries Are Opened?

from How To Protect The Ocean · host Andrew Lewin - Marine Biologist & Science Communicator

In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin looks at the Trump administration's move to reopen protected marine sanctuary waters to commercial fishing and asks a bigger question: who actually benefits when public ocean resources are opened up? The episode breaks down why marine protected areas matter, how fisheries recover when protections stay in place, and why local and Indigenous fishing communities may not be the ones who gain when large commercial fleets get access.
