On this last episode of the first year of the Ocean Decade, Taylor’s digging into one of the most innovative, but also old school, programmes of the Ocean Decade - Ocean Corps. Harkening back to John F. Kennedy’s Peace Corps, the Ocean Corps intends to be a conveyor belt of global ocean science exchange to inspire sustained, long-term ocean science education and research collaborations between nations. Taylor talks to two of the brains behind the Ocean Corps Programme - Brian Arbic and Edem Mahu - to learn more about the origins of this Ocean Decade Programme and why ocean science capacity development is so crucial to the goals and objectives of the next ten years.
