- 9:54We could restore ocean health in this decade with precision regulation | Nick Wise | TEDxBostonWhat if the ocean could return to the boundless utopia of centuries past, teeming with life? Coastal communities around the world would have improved economic and food security reducing poverty and inequity, and the life support system for our planet would be more resilient against climate change. This dream could become a reality in as little as ten years, if only we can stop harming the ocean. Most damaging human activity on the ocean is already regulated. Yet, inconsistent enforcement enables the destruction to persist. “Precision regulation” uses satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to target enforcement activities, allowing marine authorities to effectively and consistently enforce their regulations. This thoughtful alignment and implementation of existing AI, data, legal, and compute resources can transform humanity’s relationship with the ocean. Nick Wise is a technology and sustainability expert who for the past decade has applied advanced technology to tackle global-scale challenges. As founder of OceanMind, Nick combined satellite imagery with artificial intelligence to combat illegal fishing and other threats to marine ecosystems. As one of the founding members of Climate TRACE alongside Former Vice President Al Gore, Nick has driven innovations that provide unprecedented transparency in maritime emissions, helping to tackle climate change. His work has empowered governments, NGOs, and industries worldwide to enforce environmental regulations effectively. As a DRK Social Entrepreneur, GLG Social Impact Fellow, and member of the Morgan Stanley Sustainable Solutions Collaborative, Nick is committed to transforming humanity's relationship with the planet through technology and precision regulation.
