This episode of the China Global podcast discusses evolving disputes between China and South Korea, specifically regarding their unresolved maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea. There is a long history of fishing disputes between the two countries in the Provisional Measures Zone (or PMZ) of the Yellow Sea, which is where their exclusive economic zones overlap. Although China and South Korea have engaged in negotiations over the years, they have yet to come to an agreement on their boundaries in the Yellow Sea.Taking advantage of the persisting disagreement on delimitation of maritime borders, China has employed gray zone tactics in the Yellow Sea to expand its territorial presence in the region. In the most recent dispute, China installed a new steel structure in the PMZ, causing a maritime standoff between Chinese and Korean coast guards.To discuss recent developments in the Yellow Sea and China's broader gray zone tactics in the maritime realm, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Ray Powell, the Director of SeaLight, a maritime transparency project at Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Ray is also the co-host of the Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific podcast, and a 35-year veteran of the US Air Force. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:43] Strategic Significance of the Yellow Sea[03:12] Expanding Chinese Control in the Region[04:08] Chinese Maritime Installations [05:20] Are these installations found in other regions?[06:00] Gray Zone Tactics in the South China Sea [08:20] Maritime Militia Activity in the Yellow Sea[09:02] 2001 Korea-China Fisheries Agreement[10:34] Testing the Waters with South Korea[12:09] Navigating South Korean Policy Dilemmas[13:48] Rehabilitating China's Imagine in Korea[15:14] Environmental Issues in Disputed Waters[17:18] Countering Chinese Activities in the Yellow Sea[19:40] SeaLight Tracking and Deciphering Chinese Actions

Marine conservation is in trouble — and the biggest problem isn't just pollution or overfishing. The real issue is that people are becoming disconnected from the ocean, and that lack of concern is threatening marine ecosystems worldwide. In this episode, I'm reporting from Oahu, Hawaii, where I've witnessed firsthand the troubling signs of ocean health decline — and why fewer people seem to care.   Ocean protection is critical, but public interest in marine issues is fading. People aren't engaging with the pressing issues of climate change, coral reef degradation, and marine biodiversity loss the way they used to. If we can't shift this narrative and rebuild a connection with the ocean, conservation efforts may fail.   Sustainable ocean management and marine advocacy are more important than ever. I'll share why this disconnect is happening, what it means for the future of our oceans, and how we can take meaningful action to change course. Tune in to discover the truth about marine conservation — and why restoring our connection to the ocean is key to saving it.

The Surfrider Foundation has made a significant positive impact over its 40-year history, evolving from a grassroots organization focused on protecting surf spots to a powerful advocate for ocean and coastal conservation. Here are some key highlights of its achievements: Grassroots Mobilization: Surfrider has built a network of over 200 chapters and more than 100,000 volunteers across the U.S. and beyond. This grassroots model empowers local communities to address specific environmental issues, fostering a sense of belonging and collective action among volunteers. Major Legal Wins: The organization has successfully fought for stronger environmental protections, including a landmark Clean Water Act lawsuit that reached the Supreme Court, reinforcing the Act's reach and effectiveness. This case highlighted the connection between wastewater treatment and coral reef health, showcasing Surfrider's commitment to clean water. Legislative Achievements: Surfrider played a crucial role in passing the Beach Act, which standardized and funded water quality monitoring across the country. This legislation ensures that beachgoers are informed about water safety, akin to health grades for restaurants. Community Engagement: Surfrider has effectively engaged communities in conservation efforts, such as beach cleanups and the Ocean-Friendly Restaurants program, which encourages local eateries to reduce single-use plastics. These initiatives not only improve local environments but also educate the public about sustainable practices. Coalition Building: The organization has successfully collaborated with various stakeholders to oppose harmful policies, such as offshore drilling initiatives during the Trump administration. By mobilizing local communities and making economic arguments for preserving coastal resources, Surfrider has demonstrated the power of collective action. Innovative Programs: Surfrider has developed numerous programs focused on clean water, beach access, plastic pollution, climate resilience, and ocean conservation. These initiatives are tailored to local needs, allowing chapters to address the unique challenges faced by their communities. Training and Support: The foundation invests in training and resources for its volunteers, ensuring they are well-equipped to advocate for their local environments. This support fosters a knowledgeable and passionate network of activists dedicated to ocean protection.

In this episode of *Art Heals All Wounds*, I sit down with Jimmy Ramirez, an artist and high school teacher from Oakley, California. We talk about Jimmy's film Above Ground, which delves into the ways that streams and creeks in Oakland have been ‘entombed' in culverts in Oakland, California. We also discuss re-imagining our relationship to water.**Key Topics Discussed:** 1. **Discovery of Hidden Waterways**:   - My personal experience of discovering the hidden Providence River during my college years in Providence, Rhode Island, drawing a parallel to the hidden creeks of Oakland. 2. **Jimmy's Film "Above Ground"**:   - The film explores how Oakland has buried many of its natural waterways under concrete, a practice known as "entombing." This impacts local ecosystems previously supporting species like salmon and trout. 3. **Personal Connection to Peralta Creek**:   - Jimmy discusses his family's history with Peralta Creek in Fruitvale, Oakland, emphasizing how urban development has drastically altered the waterway. 4. **Impact of Water Management Practices**:   - Water management practices designed to prevent flooding have dried out natural water bodies despite heavy rainfalls, disrupting ecological balance. 5. **Historical Decisions and Urban Planning**:   - The conversation addresses the historical decisions to bury natural waterways and how early urban planning overlooked long-term environmental impacts. 6. **Environmental and Mental Health Implications**:   - We discuss the concept of "slow violence" where the lack of natural elements in urban areas contributes to mental health issues and community stress. 7. **Neighborhood Disparities**:   - Disparities between wealthier neighborhoods with more greenery and lower-income areas in Oakland are highlighted, showing the uneven distribution of environmental resources. 8. **Community Initiatives and Successes**:   - Some residents have successfully removed culverts to restore natural water flow, though legal ambiguities persist. 9. **Government and Political Dynamics**:   - Oakland officials have shown interest in Jimmy's film to raise awareness about these environmental issues, and the conversation touches on the politicized nature of water management in California. 10. **Reimagining Water Use**:    - Jimmy advocates for a collectivist approach to water systems, inspired by indigenous wisdom, contrasting America's individualistic mindset. 11. **Challenges and Resistance**:    - Addressing restrictive regulations around rainwater collection and gray water reuse, and how contractors are now more conscious about concreting over backyards. 12. **Future Projects and Art's Role**:    - Jimmy discusses future projects and the significance of art in processing climate grief and inspiring change. He also expresses gratitude for support from the California Arts Council. **Closing Thoughts and Listener Engagement:**Don't forget to go to my website and leave me YOUR story of belonging to feature on a future episode!Buy Me a Coffee!Follow Jimmy! InstagramLinkedInFollow Me!●      My Instagram&

Annabelle, the guest on the podcast episode, highlighted the importance of setting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of communication activities. She mentioned the significance of analyzing data and metrics from social media analytics to determine the level of interest generated by specific topics. This quantitative feedback allows communication professionals to assess the effectiveness of their messaging and adjust strategies accordingly. In addition to quantitative data, Annabelle emphasized the value of qualitative feedback obtained through interactions with stakeholders.

Overall, the combination of quantitative data analysis and qualitative stakeholder interactions offers a comprehensive approach to measuring the success of communication efforts. By leveraging both types of feedback, communication professionals can evaluate the effectiveness of their messaging, identify areas of strength and improvement, and ultimately enhance the impact of their communication strategies.

It's easy to think that business interests are diametrically opposed to environmental progress - and in many cases, you wouldn't be wrong. However, meaningful evidence suggests that many businesses would actually improve their bottom line if they adopted more sustainable practices. Enter today's guest, David S. Eady, the Director of Industry Engagement at Georgia Tech, a co-appointment from the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business and the university's Scheller School of Business. In this role, David establishes relationships with local business leaders in order to help them achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, a target set by Drawdown Georgia. In his (limited) spare time, David also serves as the mayor of Oxford, Georgia, where his lifelong career in environmentalism has inspired a number of important sustainability initiatives. In this interview, Monica catches up with David about the power of collective action and partnership, measuring impact over time, and meeting business leaders where they are. Show NotesAbout David EadyDrawdown Georgia Business CompactDrawdown GeorgiaRay C.
