Description & Show Notes

Did you know, the ocean covers more than 70% of our planet and produces more than 50% of the oxygen we breath? Yet much of its beauty and fragility remains out of sight. 

In the new podcast episode, Maggy speaks with Laura Cassone, founder of The Mermaid Project, one of the NGOs listed in the voting tool on the SANUSAPP right now. Laura shares all about the inspiring work her association is doing to protect and restore marine ecosystems.

From coral and seaweed restoration to mangrove projects and turtle protection, Laura support hands-on initiatives all over the world, that help rebuild ocean life where it is needed most. 
One of Laura's focus is to involve local communities, mostly women and youth, so that the projects not only generate environmental impact but also social and economic benefits.
In this conversation, Laura shares how The Mermaid Project began, why healthy oceans are essential for the future of our planet, and how each of us can become part of the solution.

This episode is a reminder that protecting the ocean is not only about preventing damage — it’s also about actively restoring what has been lost and reconnecting with the natural world beneath the waves.

If you love the ocean — or want to fall in love with it again — this conversation is for you.

Listen now and discover how small actions can help create real change for our blue planet.
