A Summary of World Ocean Radio
"Sandy might be the turning point whereby politicians, insurance companies, developers, and planners might accept the actuality of sea level rise...and realize that it is in their best interest to adapt and invent a reconstruction that is vital and viable in a different world."
~ Peter Neill from WOR 203: Year in Review
World Ocean Radio: December 7-30, 2012:
203: Year in Review
About this episode: In this episode of World Ocean Radio we'll outline five of the major ocean events for the year 2012.
202: Sea Experience
About this episode: How many of us have had actual experience in and of the sea? What happens at sea is authentic, requiring awareness and response to the demands of the ship, the crew, and the community. In this episode of World Ocean Radio we'll discuss the
Ocean Classroom Foundation and will explain the organization's core belief: that the ocean is a wise teacher and a great axis for learning.
Holiday Episode: At the Fishhouses
About this episode: Each year during the holidays we read "At The Fishhouses" by Elizabeth Bishop. This poem was chosen above all others not only for its relevance for the New Year, but because it distills years of Bishop's seaside meditations and evokes the clarity of meaning contained in personal encounters with the world ocean.
201: And Still More Answers for Sandy
About this episode: As the power is restored, transportation comes back online, and life and order return to a semblance of normal, another storm fades from memory. Yet Superstorm Sandy has left us with some very hard questions and facts. In this episode of World Ocean Radio we'll pose a series of questions that demand answers and will suggest that if we begin to change our ways now we may yet realize a habitable future living by and with the sea.
Happy New Year, and best wishes for 2013!
