The Podcast is launched on June 3 and discusses the economic exploitation of our oceans.

From the description:
“Jean-Baptiste Jouffray, post-doctoral researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, Sweden, has come up with a new term to describe what’s been happening to the oceans over the past two decades: the blue acceleration. ‘Humanity has used the ocean for millennia as a source of food, as a means of transportation,’ he says, but today’s use of the ocean is ‘unprecedented’ for its diversity and intensity.”
