What has a robot got to do with coral reefs?  The answer might inspire you. 

Coral Reefs.... they may be small, but they are mighty.... 

Without coral reefs, the world will die.  Even though these reefs cover less than 1% of the planet, they are imperative to humanity's survival. 

This episode will explore what we know about coral reefs and the role they play in the planet's health.  We will consider some of humanity's impacts on these reefs and will examine some of the innovations which are taking place to save this precious resource. 

To move forward you need to understand what came before.  To learn from the mistakes made and innovate improvements.  The Innovation at Sea podcast series will present to our future innovators what has taken place and while great and inspiring innovation has taken place, we need to do better as a society to protect this one Earth we have.
