Hear a complete interview with Chuck Fox, Executive Director at Oceans 5, a grant-offering organization that focuses on projects and campaigns to constrain overfishing and to establish marine reserves. The interview is part of an unfolding collection of stories from prominent environmentalists in the state of Maryland and Virginia, recorded in 2019-20, and supported by the Town Creek Foundation.
In this comprehensive conversation, conducted by Genevieve De Mahy in collaboration with the Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture, Fox talks everything from what we can do as individuals to slow the effects of climate change, to working on the landmark phosphate detergent ban in the 1980s, to the polarization of Washington. "To succeed in environmental conservation, you need to have the policy on your side; you need to have the law on your side; you need to have the science on your side, but unless you have figured out the politics, you'll never win."
