Grand Designs for our Oceans' Habitats with Ann Flemming Nielsen One Big Idea

Our coastal marine habitats are suffering from the man-made degradation of climate change. From coral reefs to seagrass meadows, oyster reefs and kelp forests, these ecosystems are vital nurseries for marine life and natural coastal buffers against storms and we're losing them at a rapid pace. But all is not lost. We have the tools and the know-how to restore these environments. Tune in to learn from Ann Flemming Nielsen, a PhD student at the Centre for Marine Science and Innovation, on how we can use human engineering to build back the coastal environments in severe decline and give nature a chance to recover.
