Who Decides What Happens to the Ocean?

Who really controls the future of the ocean, and why does progress so often feel slow? In this episode, Andrew speaks with Sarah Federman about the hidden systems behind environmental harm, corporate accountability, and why everyday people are often left carrying decisions they never made.

You’ll learn why protecting the ocean is bigger than personal choices, how public pressure can create tipping points for change, and why collective action helps turn frustration into momentum. This conversation connects history, business, and conservation in a way that changes how you see ocean protection.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by climate change, plastic pollution, or slow political action, this episode will help you understand where real power lives, and how people can still move it.
