J.E.D.I. Aquatics Series

St. Vincent and the Grenadines meets the Maldives in this episode of the J.E.D.I Aquatics series.

In this episode of J.E.D.I. Aquatics, I have the privilege of speaking with Flossy Barraud and Aminath Zuna from the Ocean Women project in the Maldives. I also have the pleasure of introducing Flossy and Zuna to Nadia Huggins from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.  What followed was a conversation that covered a broad range of perspectives, alongside their shared experiences as women working within communities and systems of Small Island States.
