Living Blue

With over two thirds of Earth covered by ocean, we truly live on a blue planet. In Living Blue, Brianna explores humankind’s relationship with the sea, with a particular focus on sea turtle conservation, marine habitat protection, sustainable fisheries and living blue in our daily lives. In a time when all ocean news seems to be negative, this blog also takes a look at what’s working in marine conservation to protect our ocean.
