Reporting Ocean Stories Is Key to Blue Literacy, Planetary Health [1]

As part of a Society of Environmental Journalists publishing project focused on covering climate solutions, we take a closer look at ocean-based solutions. In this special tipsheet, ocean scientist and science writer Juli Berwald offers a primer on the climate-related challenges and possibilities in the global ocean’s physics, chemistry and biology. Plus, check out an expanded toolbox [2] with reporting resources and watch a recent SEJ webinar [3].
