    The Ocean and the Elections - A talk with Mark Spalding

    On the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast, David Helvarg and Vicki Nichols Goldstein talk with Mark Spalding, President of the Ocean Foundation and an expert on international law and policy about the Ocean and the Elections. They discuss how starkly different the two 2024 presidential candidates are when it comes to marine conservation and climate issues. Also why, after the hottest summer in human history, there’s been so little talk about climate and the environment.     Vicki and David also look at the record of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and pull some recent quotes from each of them about coastal resiliency, living reefs, windmills and whales and fear of sharks. So, with just weeks to go to November 5th remember, dolphins can’t vote for the ocean so you’ll have to. –Ocean Foundation - https://oceanfdn.org/ (https://oceanfdn.org/)The only community foundation for the ocean, dedicated to improving global ocean health, climate resilience, and the blue economy.Blue Frontier: www.bluefront.org (http://www.bluefront.org)Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.Inland Ocean Coalition: www.inlandoceancoalition.org (http://www.inlandoceancoalition.org)Building land-to-sea stewardship - the inland voice for ocean protectionFluid Studios: www.fluidstudios.org (http://www.fluidstudios.org)Thinking radically different about the collective good, our planet, & the future.
