Episode 3 – No blue, no green Stand Up for Reefs
-
- Science
"No Blue, No Green" is a phrase made famous by Dr Sylvia Earle, who founded Mission Blue. Humans occupy 29% of the Earth – via the ‘Green’ or simply, the land that we live on. Yet, 71% of the world is ocean and the ocean governs the systems that make the earth habitable, every drop of water we drink, every breath of clean air, is linked to the ocean. But when we think about the ocean and ocean conservation, it can sometimes be difficult for people to connect with what may be a seemingly mysterious and distant world. However, we are all very much impacted by the health of our oceans. Podcast host Kate Holden interviews award-winning Belgian photographer Ellen Cuylaerts. Kate and Ellen discuss her perspective as an artist and advocate, how different people connect to the ocean, what can inspire different individuals to take action, and how we can all stand up for reefs and make a difference.
Ellen captures images of ocean wildlife that are serene, peaceful, and strikingly intimate. Her objective is twofold: she seeks to bridge a deeper connection between humanity and nature, and she also works to capture her own experience as the photographer, how it feels in those moments when she is behind the camera.
