The 2019 World Ocean Day was dedicated to gender and the ocean. To celebrate the day, a UNESCO project honoured women whose scientific work is enhancing the conservation of the 49 marine sites inscribed on the World Heritage List. In this video, former POGO Chair, Karen Wiltshire, talks about the Wadden Sea, which extends along the coasts of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands.
