About this episode

Elisama Menesez specializes in marine shipping for WWF Canada. In today’s episode, Eli shares how, growing up in Brazil, the ocean played an integral part of her life, and how she created a program that helps more people to connect with the sea. We also chat about the importance of the social and managerial aspect of marine science, and how shipping plays a role in our changing climate, and how this industry influences those who call the sea home, both above and below the surface.
