73,000 sharks are killed every day. 16,000 chemicals are added to plastics, and only 1% are regulated globally. The ocean is in crisis, but almost nobody sees it. Antoinette Vermilye (Co-Founder, Gallifrey Foundation & SHE Changes Climate) has spent over a decade connecting the dots between ocean destruction, human health, climate finance, and gender in global negotiations. In this episode, she walks us through how her team convinced 60 airlines to stop carrying shark fins, why the plastics treaty negotiations keep stalling, what "carbon cowboys" are doing to blue carbon projects, and why biodiversity of perspectives matters as much as biodiversity in nature. What you'll learn: How systems change actually works in ocean conservation. Why regulation, accountability, and penalties are the missing link. How blue carbon credits can work fairly. And what you can do right now with your voice, your vote, and your pocket. A conversation that will change how you see the ocean and everything connected to it.
