Coral reefs are among the most vibrant ecosystems on Earth, but they’re also some of the most vulnerable. As the planet warms, the race is on to protect and restore these underwater worlds.  

This new episode takes listeners beneath the waves to see how science, policy and local action are helping to heal the ocean.

Joining the hosts is Dr. David Obura, one of the world’s leading marine ecologists, Chair of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and founding director of Coastal Oceans Research and Development in the Indian Ocean (CORDIO) East Africa.
