Challenges and opportunities in the urban ocean

Many of the world’s largest cities are located on the coast, where people and infrastructure strike a tenuous balance with marine life and ecosystems. In these urban oceans heavily altered by pollution and human activities, who struggles and who thrives? Join us as we explore impacts, adaptations, and new possibilities in urban ocean regions around the world.
