Troubled Water - Our Ocean’s History

To quote Maya Angelou, “you can’t really know where you’re going, until you know where you have been.”

In this first episode, physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski, explores our ocean’s recent past.

What was the ocean like 200 years ago? How does that compare with today – and what does that difference reveal?

Join Helen as she discovers watery secrets in the Natural History Museum’s archive, learns what old newspapers can reveal about the impact of our fishing history, and meets one of the scientists who helped to set up one of the largest marine protected areas in the world.
