Beyond the Blue: MARiS Podcast Episodes
Episode 1 - In our inaugural episode, the host, Leila Nefdt, MARiS Science Communication Officer, is joined by Dr Louise Gammage, MARiS Research Fellow and Marine Sustainability Scientist, to discuss "Better Ways to Decide: Transdisciplinary Methods for a Sustainable Ocean."
The conversation explores why achieving a sustainable ocean requires more than scientific evidence alone. Dr Gammage shares how transdisciplinary approaches bring together researchers, policymakers, industry, artists, and coastal communities to develop more inclusive, collaborative, and effective ways of making decisions that shape our marine future.
If you're interested in marine science, sustainability, ocean governance, interdisciplinary collaboration, or science communication, we invite you to watch the first episode and join us as we explore the research and people working towards a healthier ocean.
