Summary: When confronting the challenges to today’s ocean we make passage from micro to macro and return. An instance may become evident on a local level (a red tide, for example, or a fishing conflict) which may in time appear resolved, yet the larger questions remain, requiring a universal explanation beyond the micro-perspective. In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will discuss our perceptions of a local problem used as the stimulus for worldwide investigation and creative thinking, codified into responsible policy, reforms of behavior, a new awareness applied through political will into direct action and change where we live.
