Publisher's Summary:
Today we focus on the ocean. First Bob talks with oceanographer Sylvia Earle and with Robert Nixon, the co-director of their documentary Mission Blue. Earle has spent thousands of hours underwater studying our planets marine life and is alarmed by what shes seen. After witnessing the glaring effects of pollution, overfishing and climate change, Earle says we must get past the mindset that our oceans are too big to fail.
Then we go from someone who loves the ocean to someone who must despise it. Today is the 10 year anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami which killed nearly a quarter million people, including my next guests parents, husband and two children. In 2004, Sonali Deraniyagala and her family were vacationing in Sri Lanka when the tsunami swept them all away, leaving only her alive. Deraniyagala's powerful book is titled Wave, and was an Amazon and New York Times Best Book of 2013. [Broadcast Date: December 26, 2014]
