Laura Wells is an Environmentalist, presenter and one of Australia’s top plus size models, and was on the eXXpedition when the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down. eXXpedition is an all-female sailing research expedition, investigating the causes of and solutions to ocean plastic pollution - but Laura joins us from Day 8 of hotel quarantine in Sydney. It's a fun chat about the eXXpedition research methods and findings, getting from the high seas to home in a pandemic, and much more.

This is a two-part conversation, with the second (and final) part released next week. This is also the second time Laura has joined us on the Ocean Protect Podcast - with her first appearance being episode 24 in the 2019 season.
