From Sunday Morning, 9:42 am on 21 March 2021

New Zealand has 15,000 kilometres of coastline and a high percentage of Kiwis live within five kilometres of the coast, so as a nation, we know a lot about life near water. A new study out of Glasgow Caledonian University has conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of all the evidence about how blue space positively impacts health, and the news is good for people who live in areas with access to water, or blue space. Study co-author Sebastien Chastin joins the show to explain.
