What action can we take today to help save our oceans from plastic pollution?
"If you can work with nature, we
can flourish together." ~ Jo Royle
In this episode entitled Remembering The Ocean – An Urgent
Call to Reconnect and Save our Seas, Amisha meets up with
skipper, activist, and ocean campaigner Jo Royle. Jo's work with
Common Seas is focused on reducing the threat from plastic
pollution, working with industry leaders to eradicate single-use
plastics and address the cultural and economic root causes of the
problem.
Despite growing up landlocked
and suffering a crippling autoimmune disease during her teens,
Jo spent much of her childhood in a dinghy in Devon. After
studying at university and making a determined recovery from
illness, Jo set sail as a young adult to work at sea full time for
over a decade, skippering a variety of vessels and leading projects
across the globe.
On her travels Jo saw first hand where our relationship to the seas
is out of balance and this fuelled her determination to advocate
for oceans and marine life.
Jo shares with us some harrowing stories and heartbreaking
statistics from ocean expeditions to the front lines of climate
change. She offers straightforward solutions that we can all
implement now and ways to become ocean activists in our daily
lives.
"Most important is for more and more of us to have good times
on and by the water. The more you connect with nature, whether the
sea or a forest the more you will learn about it and the more you
want to protect it." ~ Jo Royle
