In this episode, Sarah sits down with Anita Kolni and Caz Grant, founders of the Ocean Lovers Festival, to talk about building a platform that connects scientists, conservationists, artists and everyday ocean lovers, from a Trashion parade made of beach litter to a citizen science BioBlitz spanning the length of the Sydney coastline. They share the surprising discovery that even leading marine scientists weren't talking to each other, how the festival's Sydney Coast Hope Spot came to be with the support of Mission Blue's Sylvia Earle, and why hope, not fear, has become their guiding philosophy for ocean conservation.
