In this episode of Life Solved we take a look at nature’s role in cleaning our waters. There’s no doubt that us humans need to do much more to clean up our own damage, but there are experts here – and around the globe – who are giving nature the opportunity to lend a helping hand as well.
Jo Preston is a Professor in Marine Ecology and Evolution at the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú and Gordon Watson is Professor of Marine Zoology.
You’ll hear from Jo and Gordon how investing in the wellbeing of our waters – from humble kelp to sophisticated oysters – pays off in more ways than you might even imagine.
We’d love you to be part of the discussion, too. Email your questions on this episode or ideas for future episodes to lifesolved@port.ac.uk.

Life Solved is released every Thursday and available on all major podcast platforms
