This is part 2 of a 2 part series. A Japanese bulk carrier ran aground on coral reefs of Mauritius on 25 July 2020. The ship began to leak fuel oil (nearly 4000 tonnes) in the following weeks. Our guest this week is Yuvan Beejadhur, a blue economy expert who has worked with the UN and the World Bank. Yuvan is also a Mauritian,  and in this episode, we discuss the oil spill that has had a devastating impact on marine life and the Mauritius Economy. In this second part, we discuss with Yuvan the path forward from the oil spill and where the responsibilities for the events lie. _ Connect with Yuvan on LinkedIn | Twitter  _ *Credits* Thank you to James Ellsmoor, founder of Island Innovation for his help in making this episode possible Research for this episode was assisted by Oghosa Erhahon Music by Jensen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensen_chuah/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jensen_chuah SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jensenneedsfriends YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtHFEpuTjAVekbI1xz
