The Marine Biologist Podcast
Exploration vs exploitation of the deep sea
What is so special about the deep sea? What are the impacts of human activities there and which areas are particularly important?
In this episode, we are joined by deep-sea ecologist Dr Amelia Bridges. Following on from an article that Amelia wrote for the October edition of The Marine Biologist magazine, we will be discussing the pros and cons of exploration and exploitation in the deep sea.
Dr Amelia Bridges is a Research Fellow at the School of Biological and Marine Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering), University of Plymouth. She specializes in spatial ecology in the deep sea and how science can help policy-makers make informed decisions.
