For millennia, human activity in Southern China, from rice cultivation to industrial development, has dramatically transformed the landscape and decimated marine life. Today, the bustling Greater Bay Area, home to over 100 million people, faces unprecedented environmental impact. Beneath the waves, the ocean is eerily quiet; fisheries are gone, and vital ecosystems like mangrove forests, seagrasses, oyster, and coral reefs have been destroyed.

This talk explores how we can restore our oceans, regain ecological benefits, and reinvest in our future. It questions whether technology and entrepreneurship can reverse our path towards catastrophe. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
