If you take a dip in the sea in the UK and your friend does the same in Australia, that’s the same as being in one big swimming pool together. So says Nicola Bridge of the Ocean Conservation Trust. 71% of planet Earth is covered in sea water and that is all one single ocean. The ocean gives us food, well-being and a means of transport across vast distances. It is also crucial in regulating the health of our planet as a whole. But it is often taken for granted by us humans. Nicola is passionate about giving the ocean a voice and speaks to MetroWild author Yang-May Ooi about why we need to think ocean and talk ocean.
