Rising Tide #88 – Marc Yaggi is a Waterkeeper

Today we speak with Marc Yaggi, Chief Executive Officer of the Waterkeeper Alliance, the world’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of clean water.  We’ll talk about his and his organization’s history going back to exploring and protecting watersheds including the one that provides New York City with its drinking water.  We’ll review some of this boat-based group’s victories from Atlanta to coastal Senegal and some of the ongoing challenges we all face from Supreme Court rulings to pollutants in our water and our blood.  Still, be prepared for some hope. 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
