[E12] Dianna Cohen — Visual Artist & CEO/Co-founder of Plastic Pollution Coalition Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

Dianna Cohen, co-founder of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, speaks with Greg Stone about her mission to raise awareness about plastic pollution and ultimately create strategies that cut down the amount of plastic we use and throw away. She was inspired to co-found the group by her work as an artist -- because her chosen material is the ubiquitous plastic bag. But it was her love for the ocean that made Dianna aware just how plastic has become a blight on the planet. Soon she was an advocate for eliminating single-use plastic and now carries her message worldwide at gatherings of environmentalists and world leaders.

[E6] Anne Cohen — Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution May 21, 2019

Show notes

Anne Cohen, scientist, oceanographer, and self-proclaimed “curious person” has spent the last twenty-five years at The Wood’s Hole Oceanic Institute studying and exploring her passions with coral reefs. “I think of a coral reef as a world, almost a planet, with every single type of life living on it.” Besides their complexity and beauty, coral reefs serve a significant purpose with coastal protection as they absorb the majority of the energy of the ocean. This form of protection is important in keeping our coastline stable during storms and tidal extremes. Her research with coral reefs is extremely important in these times as their existence is in jeopardy from man’s impact on the ocean. Today almost 20 to 30 percent of all coral reefs are in danger from pollution, sediment, global warming, and agricultural runoff. Despite the overwhelming odds, Anne is optimistic that the work she and others in the field is making a difference in the resurgence of coral reefs globally. “Twenty-five years ago the situation was quite different, but through science and through awareness, huge programs have been put in place that helps us learn from our previous mistakes.” Join acclaimed oceanographer and conservationist Dr. Greg Stone on a journey of understanding and hope through our oceans with The Sea Has Many Voices podcast: https://theseahasmanyvoices.com/ Greg Stone has been an advocate for ocean conservation, sustainable industry, and marine research for decades.

[E4] Jared Diamond — Anthropologist May 21, 2019

Show notes

Pulitzer Prize winner Jared Diamond joins Greg Stone to share their passion for the ocean and how it has shaped our human condition. As a renowned historian, Jared discusses how man started to branch out and expand their world by island hopping, thereby creating new cultures in the Mediterranean and South Pacific. Their conversation continues to explore the origin of languages, customs, mapmaking, all connected to man’s relationship with the ocean and the need to push out beyond the horizon. Dr. Diamond points out that the ocean was not only about exploration, but the richness of the seacoast accelerated man’s permanent settled living, which was a leap in the day to day existence of humans historically. Dr. Diamond and Dr. Stone’s long standing friendship is apparent as the two wander comfortably with anecdotes and observations gathered from a lifetime of discovery and curiosity.
