The ocean shaped the sound of a generation. Today, Al Jardine believes protecting it is one of the most important challenges we face.

As part of a special World Oceans Day campaign with Talking Foreign Affairs, Beach Boys founder Al Jardine joins Adil Cader for a conversation on music, surf culture, and the future of our oceans.

From the early days of California surf culture and working alongside Brian Wilson to witnessing the decline of marine ecosystems and the challenges facing the world's oceans today, Al shares never-before-heard stories about what motivated some of the biggest hit songs of a generation and why he remains passionate about protecting the ocean.

Topics include Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, surf culture, California, the Great Barrier Reef, ocean conservation, climate change, and World Oceans Day.
