DEA Biodiversity Special Interest Group Chair Dr. Brooke Ah Shay writes about how important the oceans are to the overall wellbeing of people and the planet.
Increasingly studies and extended research are showing blue spaces (bodies of water including oceans, lakes, and rivers) can assist with positive outcomes for a wide range of health issues. Our oceans have so much to give, from food to helping regulate the world's climate to many medical discoveries like antimicrobial proteins.
