The latest episode of the Blueboard podcast explores how EurOcean Member Nausicaá, Europe’s largest aquarium, engages people -especially children- with the ocean through education, innovation, and advocacy. Iwona Gin, Head of International Relations, and Lolita Couchene, Advocacy Officer and Spokesperson, discuss how immersive experiences, school programs, and citizen engagement can foster a lasting connection with marine life.

The episode looks at how Nausicaá goes beyond a traditional aquarium by using storytelling, touch tanks, soundscapes, sustainable food initiatives, and hands-on workshops. It also covers the role of youth in ocean diplomacy, the contribution of citizen science programs, and how aquariums can inform and influence policies related to ocean protection.

For anyone interested in ocean education, conservation, or the ways public engagement can support marine protection, this episode offers practical insights and examples.
