Description

We can see stars thousands of lightyears away with our naked eye. We only began to know more about life in the deep sea around two hundred years ago – and we still know very little. How do we have to reinvent ourselves to serve the needs of the deep sea and tame endeavors to exploit its habitats? This time, our host Ingo Niermann speaks with Diva Amon, a marine biologist focused on the habitats and animals of the deep ocean. She is also a founder and director of SpeSeas, an NGO dedicated to marine science, education, and advocacy in Trinidad and Tobago. Diva speaks from her family home in Trinidad.

Ocean Wants is a series of ten podcasts that playfully explores how nonhumans could like our planet to be. Conceived and hosted by Ingo Niermann, Ocean Wants was commissioned to celebrate TBA21–Academy’s tenth Anniversary.
