Thriving Oceans, Thriving People

02 December, 09:00 – 10:00

Join us in discussing the health and wellbeing benefits of blue space access for people and the economy. We will also discuss the integral role blue spaces can play in the reducing pressures on the NHS and social care system – providing further reason to protect the ocean. 

We will be joined by Olympic Gold Medal Sailor and Ocean Advocate Hannah Mills.  The CEO and Founder of the Wave Project, Joe Taylor, will discuss life-saving surf therapy and the power of the ocean to improve mental health. Discussing the health and well-being benefits of marine and coastal environments, with particular focus on Blue Health programs at European Centre for the Environment and Human Health, will be Dr Jo Garrett. Last but not least, Hugo Tagholm, will present the results from Surfers Against Sewage Ocean Recovery Report and will discuss the benefits of a safeguarded ocean for future generations.
