Collaborative Conservation in Washington DC ft. Anita Harrington

“When it comes to climate change, I've learned that you really have to slow down and consider the values and loyalties of the other groups that you are working with.” This week, we sit down with Anita Harrington to discuss the huge role policy plays in marine conservation. Anita is a marine scientist who studied great white sharks, whales, and box jellies and is now a Knauss Fellow working in the science applications program in Washington DC. On this episode we discuss her work in collaborative conservation; what it feels like to accidentally discover a new species; indigenous communities serving as a frontrunner of climate adaptation; and the powerful uses of biotechnology in conservation.
