Summary

As the impact of industrialisation flows into our ocean, what action can humankind take to address the devastating environmental effects?

Climate change, acidification, overfishing, habitat destruction, population growth and plastic pollution are just some of the factors affecting the health of our marine environment.

However, data analytics and sophisticated surveillance along with innovations in bio-monitoring and ‘smart’ engineering may improve our ability to address future challenges.

Our panel of environmental experts examines how human ingenuity and innovation might hold the key to preventing further damage.
