Summary

Chris interviews Dr. Enric Sala, a marine ecologist and Explorer in Residence at the National Geographic Society, where he leads the groundbreaking Pristine Seas initiative. Since 2008, his work has helped protect over 6 million square kilometers of ocean by combining science, exploration, and policy. By documenting some of the last untouched marine ecosystems on Earth, Sala works directly with governments to establish large marine protected areas—proving that when the ocean is given space to recover, it can rebound faster than we expect.
