Oceans: Life Under Water

Healthy Ocean, Healthy People


Listen Later

This week, we're looking at the connection between ocean health and human health. And the benefits that a healthy ocean can bring to us.


Easkey Britton transports us to the West Coast of Ireland, where she grabs her surfboard and plunges into the cold Atlantic Ocean. Here, we learn about Easkey's research on the impact water can have on human health. We also meet Jessica Pita, PADI's first blind scuba diver from South Africa, and hear how her relationship with the ocean has completely changed since she started diving.


Plus, we hear from Martina and Kalpa from SeaSisters, an extraordinary organisation who are using swimming and surfing as a tool to empower women and girls.
