In this episode we discuss the Ocean Agency, and their 50 Reefs Initiative. The Ocean Agency is behind a variety of incredible projects, from the Chasing Coral documentary, to Google's underwater "streetview". Learn more today about their 50 REEFs Initiative, which used a combination of marine science, mathematical, and even financial modeling to select the reefs which are the plant's most sure bets for the future. The idea is a bit controversial, so we will look at it from a variety of angles.
