Marine environmentalist and preservationist Victoria Ippolito takes you on a journey that details her personal passion for wonder and scientific inquiry as she dovetails into the need for the sustained health of our sea waters. Her TEDx talk particularly points out the ways in which oysters, a unique asset in Louisiana, affect issues such as the state economy, labor, and coastal preservation efforts. 
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
