This week we talk with Francis Lean Bu, the Executive Director of the Roatan Marine Park one of the jewels of the Mesoamerican reef off the north coast of Honduras. Along with the wonders of her island’s reef life we also learn about ongoing battles with stony coral tissue disease (divers applying antibiotics to the living reef), a training program to hunt lionfish (first you shoot the coconut) and the challenges of balancing tourist development, climate change and hope. 

Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast is co-hosted by Blue Frontier's David Helvarg and the Inland Ocean Coalition's Vicki Nichols-Goldstein. This podcast aims to give you information, inspiration and motivation (along with a few laughs) to help understand our ocean world and make it better. The ocean is rising, and so are we!
