Orca mourns second calf since 2018 in a devastating report that J35 was seen floating her dead calf on January 1st, 2025. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the tragic story of J35, a Southern Resident Orca, who lost her second calf, J61, shortly after its birth. The episode highlights several critical factors contributing to the high mortality rate of orca calves in this endangered population, which currently numbers only 73 individuals. Reasons for Calf Mortality: Food Scarcity: The primary prey of the Southern Resident Orcas, Chinook salmon, is in decline. The orcas rely exclusively on this species for sustenance, and with only a 20% survival rate for calves, the lack of adequate food supply is a significant concern. The orcas need a sufficient quantity of Chinook salmon to support their growth and health, especially during the early stages of life. Chemical Contamination: Orcas are among the most contaminated marine mammals due to bioaccumulation of toxins such as PCBs and DDT. These chemicals can impair reproductive and immune functions, potentially affecting the health of calves from birth. The presence of these toxins in the environment may contribute to the inability of calves to survive past their first year. Environmental Disturbances: Factors such as vessel noise and pollution disrupt the orcas' habitat, further complicating their survival. Increased shipping traffic and climate change exacerbate these issues, leading to a more challenging environment for the orcas. Reproductive Challenges: The Southern Resident Orcas are a long-lived species that take time to reach sexual maturity. With a low calf survival rate, the population struggles to maintain its numbers, especially as older individuals begin to pass away. The episode emphasizes the urgent need for conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and pollution control, to improve the chances of survival for orca calves and the overall health of the Southern Resident Orca population.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife are proposing federal protections and label the Western monarch butterfly as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The federal agency will be accepting public input until March 12. At the same time, a federal grant of $300,000 was awarded to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation to aid in habitat restoration. The Portland nonprofit will be using the funds to continue offering free kits containing milkweed and wildflowers for community spaces and working, tribal and public lands in Oregon, Washington and California.  Emma Pelton is a conservation biologist with the nonprofit. She joins us to share more on the impact this funding will have and what potential protections for the butterfly will mean going forward.

Key Considerations for Restoring Mangroves Site Selection: It is crucial to choose appropriate locations for planting mangroves. Areas that are prone to tidal flooding may not be suitable, as seedlings can drown. Historical mangrove sites may no longer be viable due to changes in land and sea levels. Long-Term Planning: Restoration efforts should focus on the longevity of the mangrove ecosystem. This includes monitoring the planted areas over time to ensure that seedlings survive and grow into established mangrove forests. Biodiversity: Avoid monoculture planting (e.g., only red mangroves) as it can lead to vulnerabilities. Diverse mangrove species should be planted to enhance resilience against pests and environmental changes. Public and Private Partnerships: Collaboration between companies and government entities can be beneficial, but it is essential to ensure that local communities retain ownership rights to their land and that restoration efforts do not lead to land grabbing. Carbon Sequestration: While mangroves are effective carbon sinks, the focus should not solely be on carbon credits. Restoration projects must ensure that they are genuinely contributing to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Monitoring and Reporting: Companies involved in restoration should commit to long-term monitoring of their projects to demonstrate success and avoid greenwashing. This includes regular updates on the health and growth of the mangrove areas. Adaptation to Climate Change: Restoration strategies must consider the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels and increased storm surges, which can affect the viability of mangrove habitats. By addressing these considerations, restoration projects can be more effective and sustainable, ultimately leading to healthier coastal ecosystems.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Jack Groh, Director of Environmental Programs for the National Football League (NFL). He is also the Senior Vice President of Strategy for Legacy Sustainability, an independent consultancy that he and his wife, Susan Groh manage to develop and implement climate mitigation and adaptation strategies around major sporting events.Jack and Susan have been minimizing the environmental impacts of major sports events for 30 years, including the NFL's major special events. They also designed the sustainability plan for the NCAA College Football championship series. They are widely recognized for the unique and impactful community projects they develop and have consulted on sustainable transportation development, municipal waste diversion, building sustainability, and renewable energy.Ted and Jack discuss his varied background, growing up in Massachusetts, attending UMass Amherst, then going on to teach straight out of college before going back to school for journalism, spending some years TV reporting, before diving into consulting in communications and PR for companies around environmental issues. Since then, Jack and Susan Groh, now based in Warwick, Rhode Island, have been at the forefront of making the NFL and other organizations more environmentally conscious. In 1993, they developed the first environmental initiatives ever implemented at any professional sports league in the United States at Super Bowl XXVIII in Atlanta, Georgia. Their journey began with simple recycling projects during the Super Bowl and evolved into making the game the greenest professional championship in the world. Their efforts extend beyond visible actions, including recycling, food recovery and material repurposing, to making a substantial difference in the environmental and community impact of large events. Through their independent consulting efforts at Legacy Sustainability, they aim to leave each community better than they found it and inspire others to do the same. Some of the green legacy programs they leave behind in every community include planting trees, creating pollinator gardens, habitat restoration, equipment donations and school supply programs, recycling and composting, taking excess food and drink off to local food banks, and using renewable energy and helping organizations get renewable energy certificates. Jack highlights the Miami Coral Reef Project, Super Kids Super Sharing event, and the NFL Green Super Bowl LVIII Program launch.

In this episode of OzCast, Professor Kendrick unveils the crucial role that seagrass plays in marine and terrestrial ecosystems, shedding light on its remarkable ability to support marine life and store blue carbon, even more effectively than tropical rainforests. With over 40 years of professional experience in the restoration of these marine ecosystems, Professor Kendrick dives beneath the surface on all the trials and tribulations of bringing these lost meadows back to their former glory – from small-scale projects, all the way to industry-leading community-led projects like Seeds For Snapper.   Professor Gary Kendrick is a leading marine ecologist in the areas of marine benthic biodiversity, resource mapping, seagrass and seaweed ecology and seagrass restoration. He has worked with government and industry to determine needs and develop solutions for climate change threats as well as environmental and conservation issues in Australia's exclusive economic zone.    He has successfully led numerous interdisciplinary teams to address gaps in our knowledge by mapping benthic resources in the shallow continental shelf around Australia and in studying the environmental impacts on seagrasses and seaweeds of commercial fishing, oil and gas infrastructure, dredging, coastal development, coastal eutrophication and desalination outfalls.    Throughout the podcast, Gary discusses the idea of awareness: of not just when seagrass was recognised as being lost in Australia, but the awareness of how important it is to both animals and humans. He provides anecdotes on the types of ways we used seagrass, which ultimately led to its decline over the last 240 years. According to Gary, we are losing one football field of seagrass every 30 minutes, globally.   Drawing from his extensive travels, he compares Australia's efforts on the international stage, giving us a comprehensive overview of where we stand globally in seagrass preservation. He explores the major international policies that have shaped seagrass protection in Australia, highlighting the ongoing work needed to secure seagrass ecosystems in international law.  His seagrass restoration work previously focused on technical solutions and developments to improve the restoration success of seagrasses. More recently, however, his emphasis has shifted to working with the community to develop restoration at larger scales. He presently works on supporting the large OzFish community program, Seeds for Snapper, which is a collaboration with the University of Western Australia that is scaling up seagrass restoration from 100m2 to hectares using seeds of the seagrass Posidonia australis.   Professor Kendrick emphasises the power of community involvement in seagrass restoration. Learn why he believes that programs like "Seeds For Snapper" are not just for experts but something everyone should engage in, emphasising the collective responsibility we all share in preserving these invaluable ecosystems.  With years spent swimming amid these submerged meadows, Gary shares how he endeavours to quantify the value of a square meter of seagrass, unveiling a surprising truth that challenges our preconceptions. He delves into the methods that work and those that don't. It's a percentage game and he explains why restoring even 10% of seagrass seeds is a monumental achievement in the world of conservation.   Gary's long-term research goal is to develop a predictive framework for understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics between marine species distributions, their biology and the physical environment. His work on this has identified appropriate descriptors of extensive historical losses of seagrass habitat due to human impacts and modelled emergent landscape-scale phenomena related to the clonal growth of seagrasses at the shoot scale and the evolution of seagrass landscapes. This line of research has led him to question our understanding of sexual recruitment in seagrasses and has led to recent work on dispersal, recruitment and genetics of seagrasses.  In a bid to provide context to recently published papers, Professor Kendrick provides insight into a major report released in 2022, which shows that one single seagrass plant occupies all of Shark Bay – a realisation that has opened his mind for what is possible with seagrass restoration in Australia.    Throughout the episodes, Gary sheds light on other restoration programs happening around both Australia and the world. Gary highlights another community seagrass restoration collaboration with indigenous Malgana Land and Sea Rangers is presently underway in Gathaagudu (Shark Bay, WA) to replace seagrasses lost during the 2011 extreme marine heatwave (MHW).     He is also a major science advisor to the more commercial Tidal Moon project that is planning to plant 100 hectares of seagrass in Shark Bay over the next three years to mitigate carbon loss from the death of seagrasses 12 years ago.  

On this week's episode of Environmentally Speaking our hosts Marisa and Clarice dive into the topic of tree planting and the opportunity for homeowners in Rhode Island to receive free trees. They discuss the benefits of smartly planted trees, including managing storm runoff and improving air quality. However, the conversation takes an interesting turn as Marisa shares her passionate opinion about cutting down trees and the importance of preserving their habitat. The controversy deepens when they discover that the free trees being offered are actually non-native species, leading to a discussion on the balance between biodiversity and ease of planting. Tune in as they explore the details of this program and the challenge of finding more information about how to obtain these free trees. Don't miss this thought-provoking episode of Environmentally Speaking.

Once spanning nearly 6 million acres in Missouri's Ozarks, the shortleaf pine and oak woodland ecosystem has dwindled to 100,000 acres today. Along with the loss of this habitat, a bird—the brown-headed nuthatch—disappeared as well. However, after decades of woodland restoration, the brown-headed nuthatch has returned to Missouri—by plane. Over two summers in 2020 and 2021, a team of scientists successfully captured and flew 102 birds from Arkansas to Missouri, marking the bird's return to the state after being locally extinct since 1907. Weighing in at a mere one-third of an ounce, approximately the combined weight of a nickel and a quarter, the return of the brown-headed nuthatch is nevertheless a weighty event.

Asking yourself the question, why do I hunt is a question nearly every hunter has asked themself whether they are doubting their skill or if they are taking a much deep look at their ethos. Ethics seems to be a huge question every hunting needs to wrestle with as they mature in the pursuit of game.  My guest today is Robbie Kroger of Blood Origins. Robbie is helping hunters ask deeper and meaningful questions about the ethics of hunting through blood origins. Whether the motivations for hunting are rooted in food provision, the challenge, or even giving back through conservations efforts to save the vast number of habitats every hunting should be examining what it means to be a hunter. Robbie is on a mission to help educate anyone willing to listen to hear a perspective about the values of the hundreds of thousands of hunters worldwide. Robbie and I discuss the truth about hunting, how to tell your children what it means to be a hunter, Participation vs. Observation, weapon lethality, hunting and social media, the responsibility is taking an animal's life, and the genesis of Blood Origins.https://bloodorigins.orgBlood Origins InstagramBlood Origins FacebookThe Interrupted Podcast WebsiteThe Interrupted Podcast Instagram PageInterrupted Outdoors Facebook PageInterrupted Outdoors Instagram

Sally Gale, who along with husband Mike, operates Chileno Valley Ranch in Marin County California. She and Mike returned to the family ranch in 1993, restoring buildings, infrastructure, and the land. They planted hundreds of apple and pear trees and started a grass-fed beef business selling directly to the local community.Sally discusses how they learned by reaching out to family ranchers, NRCS, ag extension, and the Marin Resource Conservation District to make progress on restoring the degraded land. About their work to restore eight creeks, improve pastureland, and expand wildlife habitat, she says they definitely didn’t work alone.“I’m a believer in if you want to do something, you’ll find a way to do it.” Sally and Mike jumped in and now have a profitable ranch with restored creeks and habitat.You’ll hear how they were successful by fencing off areas of the creeks, providing off-creek water sources for the cattle, planting native plants, and improving the soil through good carbon farming practices.Sally now works in partnerships with RCD and Extension to help other ranches. She recommends always reaching out for assistance and getting involved in the community, as the land and waterways are all connected.“Our land is not an island… we are all connected.”Be sure to catch the ending when Sally discusses her work with the Chileno Valley Newt Brigade!

The new trees are growing like crazy, Our native shrubs are much larger than we expected them to be. The grasses are thick and tall and are creating a healthy topsoil layer. Our property is still mostly green while the surrounding area is scorched and dry. To top it all off, this is all in the middle of a drought year. Our habitat restoration work is really beginning to pay off. Soon, we should see some natural artesian springs emerging in the lower areas of the property, which will allow us to start creating some wetland areas. In this episode, we cover the five steps of habitat restoration that will work in any climate and on any scale.

Ever wondered if growing food and and growing native plants are mutually exclusive? Our guest Ryan Godfrey talks about his sixth-floor balcony garden where he weaves together edible and native plants—all in containers.Godfrey’s balcony container garden includes habitat-themed containers: Alvar container garden Riverside container garden Boulder container garden Woodland container garden Edible plants include woodland strawberries, Jerusalem artichoke, sweet grass, and Virginia mountain mint.Godfrey also has an allotment garden plot where he grows both food and native plants. He says that his plot draws a lot of pollinators.In a journey that started with vacuuming acorns as a child, Ryan went on to study biology and evolutionary biology. He says this makes him a “plant nerd,” a gardener who learned about plants outside of a garden context. It colours his approach to gardening.

We installed our first two rain barrels! The amount of water we've already collected has been surprising. This totally transforms the runoff from the roof from a liability (creating mud and erosion) to an asset (watering our trees and garden). Additionally, we cover some pros and cons of installing rain barrels as well as our plans for the rest of the downspouts on the house.

Last week, we were doing all of the prep work for planting some trees. This week, we picked up our order of 85 trees and shrubs and actually planted them. In this episode, we cover some of the specifics about how we plant our trees to ensure their success, bigger picture habitat restoration, and some of the transformations that we're already seeing on the property. Additionally, we go for a little walk around the property to check on the condition of various areas and make plans for future habitat restoration projects.

Many people said it was impossible, but we have successfully gotten trees to grow on our homestead on the open prairie of southeastern Wyoming. This is one of the most challenging environments for growing trees, but we've done it! Of course, planting trees and shrubs is really just part of a much larger picture of habitat restoration on our property. In this episode, we discuss general principles of habitat restoration that can be applied in just about any environment, specific challenges we have faced, and the successes that we've seen.

Listen as we dive into Australia as a stark example of what is to come for our world if don’t better our fire management systems, hold big businesses accountable, and take actionable steps to reduce climate change and drought. Experts Justin Kenardy, Philip Stewart and Christine Hosking from Queensland University in Brisbane all share their unique knowledge about the impact on flora and fauna, fire prevention and the aftercare of trauma inducing events such as wildfire on children, adults and communities as a whole. Dr. Hosking highlights the massive loss of habitat for Australian wildlife as a result of development and agriculture, now further amplified by the fires in New South Whales has led to mass extinction. Additionally she speaks to the decrease of biodiversity - a biodiversity that human health relies upon, as it balances our planet (fresh air, crops, fresh water). Professor Stewart speaks about the build up of fuel in our environment and eco-systems, made more severe by climate change, which has led to these massive and uncontrolled burns. His goal is to control fires through management, & acknowledge that we will only see greater intensity fires if we don’t have a paradigm shift. Professor Kenardy speaks about the short term and long term impact of the trauma of wildfires and natural disasters. He considers the immediate impact of disaster on people who experience PTSD and amplified anxiety, and the later long term effects on those who do not fully recover, of depressions, poor self-care, and even changes in cardiovascular health. He also considers the separate issue of eco-anxiety. Finally, we look into a strong sense of community and resilience that can emerge when communities come together to heal. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

How would you like to regularly catch trophy sized snapper in your local river or estuary along the NSW coast? That's the plan with the NSW Fisheries oyster reef restoration program. Restoring this habitat in Victoria has lured the big snapper back into this shallow estuarine environment and led to some great catches. That's our first cast on this episode of TBF with Senior Fisheries Manager of Coastal Systems in NSW Kylie Russell.

Following a severe fire season, NDOW's Ashley Sanchez and Aaron Keller sit down with Conservation Ecologist Lee Turner and Public Information Officer(PIO) Beth Kenna, a former PIO for the North Tahoe Fire Prevention District, to talk about the restoration efforts. The Habitat Division plays an important role within the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The division's main objective is to ensure that Nevada wildlife habitats are productive and in good condition. In this week's Nevada Wild, Turner also outlines the other major habitat projects the Department is working on and the impact those projects have.
