Revealing Hidden Depths - the Seabed 2030 Podcast
Episode 9 - The Seabed Data We Need for the Ocean We Want
For episode 9 of the Seabed 2030 podcast we've used a recording made of the session hosted by the International Hydrographic Organisation during the UN Ocean Decade Conference in Barcelona in April. The session was called "The Seabed Data we need for the Ocean We Want" and started with three keynotes moderated by Claire Jolly of OECD - Dr Mathias Jonas, IHO Secretary General; Mr Mitsuyuki Unno, Executive Director of the Nippon Foundation; Professor Gideon Henderson, Chief Scientific Adviser of DEFRA, UK; followed by a panel session moderated by Sam Harper of IHO consisting of lawyer Dr Virginie Tassom Campanella; Mr Virgil Zetterlind the Director of 'Protected Seas'; Mr Pierre Bahurel of MERCATOR; and Dr Jyotika Virmani of the Schmidt Ocean Institute.
Unfortunately due to a technical issue the keynote by Dr Jonas failed to record but all of the others are on this podcast, but without the Q&A session as permission could not be sought from members of the audience.
We hope you find this session of interest - thank you for listening!
