EP21 Lea D'Auriol of Oceanic Global: How she is building communities around the world to help our oceans

Not A Mama Yet

Today on the Not A Mama Yet Podcast, I am speaking with Lea D’Auriol, the Founder and Executive Director of Oceanic Global.

Oceanic Global honors humanity’s essential relationship to our ocean by empowering behavior that protects our ocean’s health and, in turn, our own. They raise awareness for the devastating effects of human consumption on our aquatic ecosystems, and work with leading scientists, conservationists, artists, and industry experts to drive positive change. They believe that our choices matter, and that with each choice we make, we have the power to create change because every being on this planet is oceanic and we are all connected to our ocean, and our ocean connects us all.

Some of main takeaways were:

Every minute, a trash truck full of trash is dumped into the ocean.

It's important to hold companies accountable for their actions and encourage better environmentally-conscious behavior.

Buy proper sunscreen: Stream to Sea and Rare Earth are two great ones recommended by Lea.

As we said on the podcast, we are all connected to the ocean, no matter where we live on the planet. It’s important we take a moment during the day to think about how our actions might be hurting the ocean that is our life source. How can we do better? Let’s all hold each other accountable and invest in our futures every day.

Let’s live our daily lives in a way that aligns with our values. Actions speak louder than words.

Thank you for listening!
