In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will discuss the company's structure, reach, profits, philanthropy and value--measures of worth that are impressive, dynamic and worthy of closer examination as an illustration of a corporate conglomerate worthy of emulation.

Strategic Oil

From World Ocean Observatory | Part of the World Ocean Radio series | 05:31

No place on Earth is immune from strategic oil. Technological advances have aided us in our objectives toward growth at all cost, and our capacity for consumption has led us beyond the point of unsustainable demand. In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will discuss what lies beyond the conventional recovery for oil and gas: devastated landscapes abandoned to frack deposits below the ocean floor, energy companies competing for oil interests in the Arctic, despite the risks, despite the unproven technologies, despite the political and environmental efforts to protect the region. What price are we willing to pay for growth?

Big Fish Ideas

From World Ocean Observatory | Part of the World Ocean Radio series | 05:20

Fish supplies are being rapidly depleted due to overfishing, especially in the deep ocean outside of national jurisdiction. The EU has developed actions intended to confront and limit illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU); beyond these measures, two California scientists are advocating for a radical idea: close the high seas to fishing altogether. In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will share the ideas outlined in the study and will suggest that it is just such a radical notion that we must embrace if we are to allow the marine food supply to recover from our past excesses and mistakes.
