How Costa Rica Leads Conservation on Land and Sea WSL PURE | One Ocean

Costa Rica is one of the global leaders in conserving biodiversity on land, and with 92% of its territory at sea, they're working to protect the ocean too. Hear from WSL Championship Tour surfer Brisa Hennessy and Costa Rica’s Environment & Energy Minister Carlos Manuel Rodriguez on the importance of Costa Rica’s biodiversity, the work they’ve done to protect it, and how this affects surf tourism.

Thanks for listening and thanks again to Brisa and Carlos for joining us!
