Protecting Blue Nature is a podcast from IMPAC5, the Fifth International Marine Protected Areas Congress taking place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from the 3-9 of February, 2023. The podcast features eight episodes with conversations between hosts Aneri Garg and Isabelle Groc related to IMPAC5’s five themes and three cross-cutting streams

Podcast host Garg chats with Alexander Mawyer, the director of Centre for Pacific Islands Studies at the University of Hawaii and former editor of The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Island Affairs.

As a social scientist, Mawyer explains what he sees as the building blocks of building a sustainable blue economy. Reflecting on his work with the Mangeraven community in the Gambier and Society Islands of French Polynesia and Chuukese and Mortlock communities in the Federated States of Micronesia, Mawyer shares many lessons on the importance of local community-driven ocean economies.
