Rising Tide #72 – Carleen Lyden Walker’s Maritime Industry Vision

A co-founder and Executive Director of the North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA), Carleen Lyden Walker talks to us about the challenges of transitioning the world’s shipping industry into an ocean and climate friendly sector of the blue economy. Among key issues we discuss are public education about ports and shipping, decarbonizing the global fleet of 90,000 plus large vessels, dealing with whale strikes and offshore pollution and what it means to be a woman leader in a historically male industry.  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
