Well, that was a tasty and #sustainable lunch break at ‘Society and the Sea 2024’ #SOCSEA24 at #Greenwich. This morning Dr Thomas Beard chaired an interesting selection of presenters on the ‘Green Waves’ stage. Amongst them were Stefano D.M. S. Who gave us the eye watering stat of shipping needed 4 Petrawatts of clean energy annually (same as the US’ annual energy consumption). Madadh MacLaine told us that we need to tackle more than carbon, the Surface Micro Layer is under attack from human impacts also, especially when we look at #plankton, whose number have dropped 50% since 1950. John Mullen talked about some of the energy opportunities in ports, where there is spare land. Looking forward to the afternoon.
