Navigating Ocean Policies with Mark Spaulding: Diving into the Impact of Elections on Our Waters

Written By Holden Hardcastle

How election results could shape the future of our oceans. As climate and marine conservation take a backseat in the 2024 election discourse, Mark Spalding joins Rising Tide to explore the stark contrasts between the candidates' environmental policies and what’s at stake for our waters.

On the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast, David Helvarg and Vicki Nichols Goldstein talk with Mark Spalding, President of the Ocean Foundation and an expert on international law and policy about the Ocean and the Elections. They discuss how starkly different the two 2024 presidential candidates are when it comes to marine conservation and climate issues. Also why, after the hottest summer in human history, there’s been so little talk about climate and the environment.

Vicki and David also look at the record of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and pull some recent quotes from each of them about coastal resiliency, living reefs, windmills and whales and fear of sharks. So, with just weeks to go to November 5th remember, dolphins can’t vote for the ocean so you’ll have to.
