Rising Tide #59 – Going Deep with Explorer Don Walsh

Release Date:

In our latest episode we talk with Ocean and Polar Explorer Don Walsh. A Retired Navy Submariner, as a young Captain he and Jacque Picard became the first 2 humans to reach the deepest part of the ocean – 7 miles down in the Challenger Deep aboard the bathyscaphe Trieste. He talks about their journey and a near disaster, why ocean exploration didn’t go on to compete with the space race and today’s new generation of deep ocean explorers. Don also gives his unvarnished take on proposed deep-sea mining and the failure of the UN International Seabed Authority to do its job protecting the ocean depths.  Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast is co-hosted by Blue Frontier's David Helvarg and the Inland Ocean Coalition's Vicki Nichols-Goldstein. This podcast aims to give you information, inspiration and motivation (along with a few laughs) to help understand our ocean world and make it better. The ocean is rising, and so are we!Learn more at bluefront.org
