    Overview: Roadmap to close the marine data pollution gap

    Ocean pollution is a complex and multifaceted problem. It threatens ecosystems, human health and economies, but a lack of data about its impact means relatively little is being done to prevent and address it. That’s why Back to Blue has published A global ocean free from the harmful impacts of pollution: Roadmap for action. Here to talk about the roadmap and why it matters is Jessica Brown, Back to Blue’s head of engagement.

    Clean construction: Tackling marine chemical pollution through technology

    "The core concept really is that everything that gets discharged to the sewer, ends up in the environment, in one way or another" (Andrew Crimston, Founder and CEO of Washbox Global) Chemical pollution in the ocean tends to be much less talked about than the highly visible plastics pollution, but is as equally, if not even more harmful. Back to Blue have published a comprehensive 100-page report on the state of marine chemical pollution in “The Invisible Wave”. This episode will give a deep-dive into marine chemical pollution in the construction industry. Back to Blue's lead editor Naka Kondo speaks to Andrew Crimston, Founder and CEO of Washbox Global.
