On this episode of Wild About Wellbeing, we're talking about all things water. Dom and Rob discuss how our water environments, whether freshwater or marine, play a part in the conversation about eco-anxiety.
We are then joined by Dr James Szymankiewicz, a GP whose passion for wellbeing and surfing sees him help communities reconnect with the natural world. Our second guest is Libby Smith, a member of Generation Sea - a youth steering group from The Wildlife Trusts made up of young people who are passionate about protecting and restoring the marine environment. Finally, we talk to Ella Garrud of Sussex Wildlife Trust and Sophia Pinheiro Vergara of the Marine Conservation Society, about their fantastic work in bringing people together with inclusion and hope in mind with the Wild Coast Sussex project.
Correction (13:20): we mention 90 Martine Conservation Zone and 4 Highly Protected Marine Areas. Please note that the correct figures are 97 Marine Conservation Zones and 3 Highly Protected Marine Areas currently.
