This week’s podcast guest is Joyeeta Das, co-founder and CEO of SamudraOceans.
Das discusses how seaweed has an incredible variety of uses, including food, fuel, fertiliser and bioplastics; how coastal towns are facing the biggest danger from climate change, but could also contain vital ocean expertise; and the challenge of finding patient investors that will back causes over maximising profits.

Das also describes why the ocean is one of the hardest environments to engineer for, including space.
