We live in the age of technology, yet most of the ocean and the activities that impact it remain in the dark ages.
How can we harness the power of technology to understand the ocean better and shine a light on issues like slave labor in seafood supply chains, overfishing, and habitat destruction? Can we avoid a path littered with failure and unpleasant surprises?
