Protecting Wildlife, Enforcing Change: A Global Dive with WildAid’s Meaghan Brosnan

In the latest episode David & Vicki talk with Wildaid CEO Meaghan Brosnan who, when it comes to marine wildlife and protected areas, is all about the enforcement. Wildaid is a leading international non-profit dedicated to saving the world’s declining wildlife species, perhaps best known for its decade-long media campaign that helped turn China from a consumer to an opponent of shark finning. 

Since taking over in 2017, Meaghan has expanded Wildaid’s ocean programs 10-fold with an emphasis on putting the bad guys away. No surprise, given her 20 years of service in the US Coast Guard, much of it in the Marine Resources Enforcement program. David & Vicki talk to her about her blue background, how a non-profit can help locals enforce protection of their (more than 20 nations’) waters and much more. And of course, Blue News You Can Use. Dive in with us.
