3 missing headlines is back! Key elections are here, and today we speak to Sarita Fernandes, climate & oceans policy researcher. Sarita has done a huge body of work on CRZ - coastal regulation zone notification which directly impacts our oceans, marine life and people in the coastal states, urban deforestation movements like Aarey, and coastal road. She passionately speaks on gender inequity and touches upon important facts for youth, fishing women and ecology. With national media hovering to Goa for election coverage, I speak to Sarita about how ecology, biodiversity and coasts are no simply 'environmental' issues but linked to livelihoods, health and economy of the state.
