The How To Protect The Ocean is your resource to keep you informed on the latest ocean news; teach you how to speak up for the ocean; and, how you can take action to live for a better ocean. There is so much information on the ocean and the issues that are affecting it that it can be difficult to find optimism in the future of the ocean. Climate change, overfishing, plastic pollution, water pollution, and coastal development have altered the ocean in ways that have negatively changed the way we use it. The repercussions of climate change, including the ominous specter of rising sea levels, the relentless march of warming ocean temperatures, and the ominous shadow of ocean acidification, have not only altered the very fabric of our coastlines but have also conjured fie…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T16:19:35.408605+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-protect-the-ocean-2010"},"episode":{"title":"Are We Ignoring the Best Climate Solution We Already Have?","slug":"are-we-ignoring-the-best-climate-solution-we-already-have","published_at":"2026-05-06T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-protect-the-ocean-2010/are-we-ignoring-the-best-climate-solution-we-already-have","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-protect-the-ocean-2010","url":"https://www.speakupforblue.com/podcast","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/scicon/HTPTO_E1930_BlueEconomyClimateSolution.mp3?dest-id=228444","summary":"Blue carbon could be one of the most powerful climate solutions we already have, so why is it still missing from so many climate plans? In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean , we look at how mangroves, seagrasses, salt marshes, and other coastal ecosystems store carbon, protect coastlines, and support ocean health. Ocean climate solutions are often treated as secondary to land-based actions like planting trees, but coastal habitats can store carbon in sediments for long periods of time. The problem is that many countries still do not fully include blue carbon ecosystems in their climate strategies, even though protecting and restoring them could help reduce climate risk. Blue economy action is not just about new technology or future innovation. It is also about funding, restoring, and protecting the natural systems that already work. The ocean is not separate from climate change. The ocean is climate.
