TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a non-profit known for bringing together some of the world’s most innovative thinkers to spread ideas and foster collaboration.
Back in April, inspired by Sylvia Earle’s TED Prize wish, a group of 100 scientists, activists and philanthropists set sail on an adventure into the blue. During five days of cruising the Galápagos Islands, they developed a new model of radical partnership that could significantly impact the way we protect our oceans.
CI’s Chief Ocean Scientist Dr. Greg Stone was one of the speakers aboard the boat, telling the audience the story of how the Republic of Kiribati created one of the world’s largest marine protected areas in the middle of the Pacific — protecting fish, astonishing coral reefs and the island nation itself. Listen in on his fascinating talk below.
