Charles Clover | Rewilding the Sea: How to Save Our Oceans | Talks at Google

Charles Clover discusses his latest book "Rewilding the Sea: How to Save Our Oceans", an essential and revelatory book from one of the leading figures in marine conservation, urging us to rethink our relationship with nature, save our oceans and save our own life support system. The world’s oceans have never faced more challenges—from ruthless overfishing, plastic pollution and acidification. And if that wasn’t enough, overfishing is accelerating climate change. The latest scientific research shows that trawling and dredging creates more CO2 than the aviation industry, and damages vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them soaking up carbon. But change is achievable, and change is happening. "Rewilding the Sea" celebrates what happens when fishermen and communities engage with each other and allow nature to repair the damage. Charles Clover is a co-founder of Blue Marine Foundation, an impactful and influential marine conservation charity. Charles made his name as an author and environmental journalist writing principally for The Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph for which he was environment editor for twenty-two years. His book The End of The Line (Ebury, 2004) and the award-winning major documentary film of the same name (presented by Clover) highlighted overfishing as a global problem and inspired the foundation of Blue Marine Foundation.
