Explore the ocean floor is more than a scientific ambition, it is a global necessity. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin speaks with Tim Kearns, Executive Director of Map the Gaps, about the upcoming Ocean Floor Explorer conference in Victoria, BC. They discuss why mapping the seabed is vital for science, conservation, and society, while uncovering how challenges like funding and technology can be turned into opportunities for global collaboration.

Mapping initiatives are not only about science but also about storytelling, communication, and inspiring action. Andrew and Tim highlight how diverse communities can play a role, from students and researchers to policymakers and entrepreneurs. The conversation explores how events like this conference bring people together to tackle some of the biggest challenges in deep-sea exploration while building networks that fuel long-term solutions.
