joining me now is raquel peixoto — associate professor of marine science at king abdullah university of science and technology, also known as kaust. speak to me about this please. we are trying to restore what was there before. thank you so much for having me. in the case of therapies to help wildlife, one of the things we can do to mitigate the causes. organisms are exposed to stress. much that, we are not adding anything new, but we are restoring what was there

government and presenting this solution. make sure they support it because in many cases, as we were discussing before, these things are very straightforward. trying to fix it in the easiest possible way because this might... we can change things very quickly and effectively. as i said before, i think we don't have a way out without science and technology. i think even if we are not that close, because we are not using the science and technology that we have, there is still time and it's probably the most pressing issue of our lifetime. we have to do it now.- we have to do it now. really aood to we have to do it now. really good to talk _ we have to do it now. really good to talk to _ we have to do it now. really good to talk to you. - we have to do it now. really| good to talk to you. racquel, olivia and peter. thank you very much. stay tuned.
