Description

Two shipwrecks off the coast of Kerala in recent months have sparked headlines — but the real story lies beneath the waves. In this episode, we dive into the lesser-told side of maritime disasters: their long-term ecological toll. From oil spills and debris to the disruption of delicate marine ecosystems along India’s biodiverse western coast, we explore why these incidents are not just maritime accidents, but environmental red flags. Featuring insights from marine biologists and coastal conservationists, we ask: are we prepared for the invisible aftermath of such disasters? And what does this mean for Kerala’s fragile coastal ecology and the communities that depend on it?
