Ocean Exploration to Inform Climate Solutions and Biodiversity Conservation

The ocean is a critical component of climate solutions. Not only
does the ocean have the potential to provide food security, but it
can provide critical minerals for the energy transition, species
with biopharmaceutical and biotechnology potential, a source of
income through sustainable tourism, and innovation of renewable
power technologies. Samantha Murray, Executive Director of the
Marine Biodiversity and Conservation program at the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography, and Amanda Netburn, Assistant Director
for Ocean, Science and Technology for the White House Office of
Science and Technology Policy, discuss how further exploration of
the ocean may help scientists learn more about future climate
solutions and improve biodiversity conservation. Series: "Institute
