E08: Translating Law into Culture - Conservation in the Caribbean

This week we interview Courtney Vail, who is the Caribbean Programme Leader for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.

Following on the theme of our first podcast with Guisepppe Notarbartolo di Sciara discussing regional work in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific, Courtney articulates the challenges and opportunities of developing a conservation mechanism in the Caribbean region.

Courtney explains the SPAW Protocol and provides an important insight into what makes for positive progress, and how the public might be able to focus their help.
