In case you didn’t know, human activities have a great impact on the ocean. Furthermore, many aspects of our lives and well being depend on the ocean. Today, I sat down with marine biologist, Dr. Aziz J. Mulla to learn more about how we are affecting the ocean and how we could help protect it. Dr. Aziz J. Mulla has been a postdoctoral scholar at Academia Sinica and is currently working at National Taiwan University. He’s also been a scientific diver for many years.

From what we buy, what we eat, to impacts of big corporations and climate change, to the recent debate on Japan’s releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, we are here to talk more. We’ll also learn from Dr. Aziz J. Mulla, who specializes in corals, about how observing corals could inform us about the ocean. We will also touch on “ecological grief” and mental health. Let’s dive in.
