Just as water is crucial to human life, oceans and rivers provide a key glimpse into the future of the planet. From the death of our waterways, to understanding the language of whales and uncovering the mysteries of the wild seas, this session explored the extraordinary depths of our blue planet to help us chart a new course forward.
Hosted by 5x15 co-founder Rosie Boycott, the event brought together an expert panel of researchers, marine biologists and activists to share key insights into both the problems and the solutions.
