🌍 How does reef tourism play a crucial role in protecting our oceans?
🤿 What can divers, snorkelers, and everyday citizens do to take action?
Join us as we explore Yolanda’s groundbreaking research on how climate conversations in tourism can inspire real change. From the power of education on the reef to the actions we can take beyond the water, this episode is packed with insight, passion, and a call to action for everyone who loves the ocean.
