Session 12 by Audrey Tan – Bringing the Ocean to Life Through Storytelling
The ocean can sometimes be out of sight, out of mind for many people. But the ocean is important to human health and wellbeing in many ways, even for those who do not dive or go out to sea. Raising awareness of the importance of the ocean, and the threats confronting marine ecosystems, will be key to help people understand the urgency of action. In this presentation, hear how The Straits Times, a media outlet based in Singapore, is trying to bring ocean issues to life for the general public through different storytelling formats.
