In this first episode of Upwell, we chat with Daniela Fernandez, the founder and CEO of the Sustainable Ocean Alliance, who is activating the next generation of ocean champions to restore the health of the ocean.

During the interview, we discuss the mission of the Sustainable Ocean Alliance, how the organization is supporting environmental entrepreneurs and youth leaders through training, funding, and additional resources, the global campaign to stop deep sea mining, the need for action at COP27, and advice for young leaders working to tackle the climate crisis.

You can find Daniela on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. And you can learn more about Sustainable Ocean Alliance on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

And for this week’s action, join Sustainable Ocean Alliance, The Oxygen Project, the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, and Only One in the campaign to stop deep-sea mining.
