Sharks: In this special bonus episode of Beyond Jaws, we dive deep into a fresh perspective on sharks through the eyes of marine biologist and science communicator Sophie Maycock. Sophie joins co-hosts Dr. David Ebert and Andrew Lewin to discuss her new book Shark: An Illustrated Biography, which not only showcases the beauty and complexity of these creatures but also challenges long-held misconceptions. Sophie: We explore Sophie's journey from her scientific background to becoming a published author, the creative process of writing about sharks, and why visual storytelling matters in science communication. Whether you're a shark lover or simply curious about how marine science can reach new audiences, this episode delivers inspiration, education, and deep respect for the ocean's most iconic predator.

Magic meets science in this episode of Fur Real. Have you heard of the unicorns of the sea? Narwhals, with their iconic tusks, are as fascinating as they are mysterious. Joining us is Dr. Martin Nweeia, the leading expert on these Arctic creatures, to share incredible stories and surprising facts. Did you know their “horn” is actually a tooth that can grow up to ten feet long? Or that they can dive over 7,000 feet deep thanks to a special protein that supercharges their oxygen reserves? But narwhals aren't just science—they're steeped in legend. Inuit mythology tells of a woman who was pulled into the sea while hunting, and her braided hair became the tusk we see today. In medieval times, the tusk was believed to have magical powers, capable of curing poison and disease. Even Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea drew inspiration from these incredible animals. From myths to biology, Dr. Nweeia brings stories you won't want to miss. Dive in and discover the magic of the narwhal! www.furrealpodcast.com ig@thefurrealpodcast.com            fb The Fur Real Podcast tiktok @thefurrealpodcast            threads @thefurrealpodcast Blue Sky @thefurrealpodcast.com Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

Have you ever imagined a world where pink dolphins roam the rivers, not just in animated films but in real life? It's true! In this fascinating and fun-filled episode of Fur Real, I'm joined by Professor Susana Caballero, an expert on these remarkable creatures. Get ready to be amazed as we dive deep into the world of freshwater dolphins, learning that there are actually six dolphin species and one porpoise that call freshwater rivers home. Professor Caballero reveals incredible facts about these majestic mammals, including how pink dolphins—yes, actual pink dolphins—can blush like humans, turning even pinker when they're excited! We explore the Amazon Basin and other corners of South America and Asia where these dolphins thrive, uncovering enchanting local myths and legends along the way. Here's a taste of what's in store: One myth claims that if you swim at night, pink dolphins will whisk you away to a magical underwater city, never to return! And don't miss the legend of the “Boto Encantado.” These dolphins, also called “Botos,” are said to transform into irresistibly handsome men under the cover of night, charming and sometimes even impregnating unsuspecting women. With captivating stories and surprising science, this episode will make you fall in love with these unique freshwater wonders. Don't miss it—tune in and let the magic of the pink dolphins sweep you away!  Helpful links: Fundación Omacha (Dr. Fernando Trujillo): www.omacha.org The town of Puerto Nariño (best place to see river dolphins): https://colombia.travel/es/amazonas/puerto-narino Fundación Isla de Agua (my foundation in Colombia): www.isladeagua.org www.furrealpodcast.com         ig@thefurrealpodcast.com FB The Fur Real Podcast Tik Tok @thefurealpodcastcom Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

Sharks off the coast of Brazil recently tested positive for cocaine in lab research by The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation. It was the first study to detect cocaine in the species. It's not yet known how the drug affect the predators. It's not just sharks ingesting man-made substances. Marine experts have found traces of painkillers, contraceptive pills, anti-depressants and MDMA in other aquatic creatures. Crabs and fish have demonstrated significant behavioural and psychical differences as a result. We get a round up of the research from Alex Ford, a professor of biology at the University of Portsmouth. He explains how recreational drugs and medicines have been found in seawater samples in the U.K. and how that could impact animal behaviour and development.

From an article by Hayley Smith.

Dr. Anna von Rebay is the founder and CEO of Ocean Vision Legal (OVL), the first law firm worldwide entirely specializing in Ocean Protection.  OVL focuses on the enforcement of existing obligations to protect the marine environment (Ocean Litigation) and advocates for new laws to provide better protection standards for the Ocean (Ocean Rights).Understanding Ocean LitigationOcean litigation is a term coined by Dr. von Rebay, inspired by the growing climate litigation movement. In our discussion, she explains what ocean litigation means and how it could transform the way we protect our oceans. This innovative approach encompasses legal actions and frameworks aimed at addressing environmental harm and promoting marine protection and conservation.Connecting Climate and Ocean LitigationWe explore the connection between climate litigation and ocean litigation, highlighting how the fight against climate change intersects with efforts to safeguard our oceans. Dr. von Rebay discusses the parallels between these movements and how lessons learned from climate litigation can be applied to the ocean context.Rights of Nature and the Rights of Marine SpeciesOne of the most intriguing aspects of our conversation is the Rights of Nature movement and its application to marine species. Dr. von Rebay shares her work on whale rights in collaboration with the Maori, illustrating how this concept can lead to a more equitable and sustainable approach to the way we think, see. and protect our oceans.Exploring Ecocide and Human RightsWe also touch on ecocide and its implications for ocean protection. Dr. von Rebay emphasizes the need to view environmental destruction as a serious crime and discusses human rights connections with ocean rights. She shares how her early passion for human rights and courtroom advocacy influenced her journey into ocean protection.Reimagining Ocean Rights and Nature's Intrinsic ValueBeyond litigation, Dr. von Rebay discusses the second branch of Ocean Vision Legal: ocean rights. This initiative focuses on improving laws and challenging the traditional view of nature as a resource. Instead, Dr. von Rebay advocates for recognizing nature's intrinsic value, promoting a deeper respect for the oceans and their ecosystems.Join us as we explore these fascinating topics with Dr. Anna von Rebay and gain insights into the evolving landscape of ocean protection.If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it!

More than 171 trillion pieces of plastic are estimated to be floating in the world's oceans. We've touched on the extent of the plastic problem before on the pod, but this time we're looking into how exactly its affecting marine creatures. Researchers say hermit crabs are increasingly using plastic waste instead of shells for shelter and they are not the only wildlife being affected by our rubbish. Our Science Correspondent, Victoria Gill, gives us a deep dive into that. Plus, the world's largest cruise ship set sail from Miami on its maiden voyage, but there are concerns about the vessel's emissions. That's despite the ship running on liquefied natural gas, which burns more cleanly than traditional marine fuels. So why are environmentalists worried?

Perhaps you are one of those people who love being by the sea and enjoy diving or snorkelling. That's not mine. But I have seen some wonderful underwater footage from the sea on television. You can see all kinds of sea creatures and how they move: the fast and nimble fish that you can barely keep track of, the ponderous but mighty whale as it dashes through the water and the almost sleepy-looking jellyfish or similar animals that seem to float through the water with slow movements. As humans, we all have more or less the same gait and, provided we are healthy, we all move in the same way. But not so in our thinking or decision-making or tackling and solving tasks. The "movement" or forward motion of others may seem strangely alien to us. But it is their way. Analogous to marine animals: accept this otherness and be completely free to cultivate your own way of walking. That is diversity. I wish you an extraordinary day!

Marine Biologist Brendon Dunphy explains why the Hauraki Gulf is seeing increasing numbers of stressed shearwaters and albatrosses. He says the food chain for titi, or sooty shearwaters - also known as muttonbirds - , is being affected by rising water temperatures. Dr Dunphy says some Hauraki Gulf birds are showing some worrying symptoms which relate to the rapidly warming planet.

A legal case is being brought against the government for failing to use laws that would protect thousands of marine animals. The landmark legal proceedings have been filed today by the Environmental Law Initiative - a non-profit which aims to ensure the effective protection of natural resources. The respondents in the case are the Minister of Conservation, the Attorney General, and the Directors General of the Department of Conservation and Ministry for Primary Industries. The Environmental Law Initiative alleges that some aspects of the government's management of protected species may be unlawful, including the way reporting on bycatch is conducted, and the way some offences connected to bycatch are investigated and prosecuted. A 2019 report by the Ministry for the Environment found found 22 percent of all assessed marine mammals, 90 percent of all seabirds and 80 percent of shore birds are threatened or at risk of extinction. Kathryn Ryan speaks with Ingrid O'Sullivan, Environmental Law Initiative's Senior Policy Advisor for Oceans and Coasts.

The global ocean is a vast place, spanning the entire planet and tens of thousands of kilometres deep. Many marine animals undertake huge migrations across the ocean, but there's no signposts or google maps…so how on earth do they know where to go? This episode, we delve into the incredible world of sensory and cognitive ecology to understand how sharks, rays, whales and a host of other critters navigate the underwater world with scientists Jesse Granger and Kyle Newton. Jesse and Kyle ask big questions about how animals find their way around, mainly focussing on the possible ways that they are able to detect and use the earth's magnetic field to orientate themselves.

Jellyfish are mainly a plague for swimmers in the sea. But for an Italian Michelin star chef as well as European researchers, the marine animals are a healthy delicacy that could provide a sustainable food source.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - UBC marine ecologist Dr. Chris Harley initially told the media that more than a billion mussels, clams, sea stars and other invertebrates may have cooked to death in the area between Campbell River and Washington state. That was a ‘back of the envelope' estimate, based on his observations among the Lower Mainland's mussel population and some preliminary reports. Harley has done a great deal more research since then. He now guesstimates that, conservatively speaking, the number of marine fatalities during last June's heat wave is closer to 10 billion. In the attached podcast, he describes the new temperature records being set throughout British Columbia. “Unfortunately for marine life, those really hot days coincided with very low tides. So things that aren't normally out of the water for very long, were left high and dry during extreme hot weather,” explained Harley. “That combination resulted in dead sea stars, and dead clams, and dead mussels, and dead barnacles - the list just goes on and on.” While it is easy to spot dead mussels because their shells open, this isn't as easy with some other species. Harley says that for the first few weeks, there is very little to distinguish between live and dead barnacles. As the geographic extent of the disaster, numbers of species involved, and numbers of individual animals became clear - Harley gave up on the attempt to make an exact count. In the Campbell River -Discovery Islands area While there is not much information about the marine impacts, Harley said “the north end of the Straight of Georgia is one of the places that got the hottest for coastal communities.” Visiting the area south of Comox, on Vancouver Island, Harley said, “There were certainly still a lot of dead barnacles in evidence as of a few weeks ago.” There were die-offs on Quadra and Calvert Island, as well as Desolation Sound. A number of reports came from Cortes Island, and on July 10th Cortes Currents emailed Harley a series of photos of dead mussels at Smelt Bay. There appeared to be thousands. Snails were attached to some of the shells. Harley responded, “Yes, you do have some snails in your photo. Those guys are apparently pretty tough - I've seen them on other beaches where other species didn't make it through the heat wave. One of them in the upper-middle part of the second photo has glued itself on edge to a mussel shell with a little blob of mucus. They do that so that as little as possible touches a hot surface, which keeps them cooler.” He suggested returning to the site to do a series of plots and put a metre stick in the images to indicate the scale. Most of the dead mussels had washed away by the time Cortes Currents returned to take 10 ‘plots' on July 14th, but there were also what appeared to be thousands of dead sand dollars. ‘Wow!' emailed Harley, looking through the subsequent images from 20 sand dollar plots. Local biologist Deb Cowper reported that some sand dollars survived in the more sheltered waters of Mansons Lagoon, but Smelt Bay is more exposed. There do not appear to be any survivors in the images taken by Cortes Currents. Most of the sand dollars were white, which Harley suggested meant they are ‘recently dead.” There were also some, ‘greenish ones have been dead long enough to acquire some algal growth.'

Even as human impacts cause increasing numbers of animal strandings along beaches in Washington and Oregon, there has been a gap in critical care for them. Till now, there was no marine wildlife hospital in either state dedicated to rehabilitating hurt or sick animals.

In the deep dark waters of our world swim creatures that are too strange for words. Laura and Katy do a deep dive (get it?!) into this strange world to give you a glimpse of what we think are some of the most bizarre. And not to be a spoiler, but one isn't even found in the ocean!

Over 20 years ago, a global project called the Census of Marine Life observed a number of marine species migrating long distances across Oceans. It was new data that technology allowed us to see through satellite tags, a new tool at the time.  Satellite tags have advanced in technology over the past 20 years and that has allowed scientists to understand a little bit more about how marine species move through the Oceans. New research has revealed that marine species such as sharks, tuna, marine mammals, penguins, and sea turtles swim in circles inside and outside of feeding areas. The research has led scientists to hypothesize that the animals may be searching for navigation information from geomagnetic fields.   More research is needed to understand the micromovements of marine species.

In all of our extensive travels, some of the most meaningful encounters have been underwater in places including Mozambique, Tahiti, Indonesia and the Galápagos. These vibrant aquascapes are the settings for life-changing encounters with wondrous marine species that can shift our perspectives and priorities.Snorkeling and scuba diving around the world, we’ve been fortunate to swim with everything from whale sharks and dolphins to sea turtles, sea lions, manta rays and even a few (vegetarian) sharks—all totally wild, in their native habitats. But we’ve also witnessed dangerous and poor practices, too, from 50 tourists being allowed to jump off one boat into a pod of spinner dolphins off Oahu, to businesses profiting from keeping sea creatures in captivity. Knowing what we do about highly intelligent marine mammals makes these these situations totally unacceptable, and we want to spread awareness.We begin this episode hearing all about how underwater photographer (and children’s book author and entertainment industry executive) Pier Nirandara uses her compelling aquatic wildlife images to excite viewers about conservation. She also discusses her own boundaries and how she chooses excursion outfitters. Next, marine expert Frank Murphy, director of the Tetiaroa Society in Tahiti, shares his experiences with humpback whales as they make their annual migration past the atoll where resort guests of The Brando can safely observe them. And we connect with Chad D’Souza, general manager of Perth Wildlife Encounters, about their company’s long-running wild dolphin swims, which Eric experienced years ago but remain a highlight.We hope listeners will come away from this episode not only inspired to plan a life-affirming swim of their own, but confident that they can do so ethically, respectfully and sensitively. What’s more, we attempt to answer the question of whether the benefits to humans outweigh any potential risk or negatives for the wildlife, since we believe these firsthand experiences can directly result in an increased desire to support conservation.

One of the biggest problems when it comes to caring for the ocean realm is that it is out of sight and out of mind. It's hard to care about something you don't know about, and most people, most of the time, don't have a chance to see ocean life for themselves. Underwater photography is helping to bridge that gap between people and the oceans. In this special podcast, Helen Scales chats to National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry to find out about the challenges of taking pictures underwater, from the technical constraints of taking electrical equipment into salty water to finding ways of...

How do marine animals hear, see, touch, and smell the world around them? Life underwater is obviously very different to life on land and it can be difficult for us air-breathing humans to imagine what goes on down there beneath the waves. But understanding how animals find their way around the ocean plays a vital role in our efforts to conserve marine life. In this special edition of the Naked scientists, Helen Scales meets sensory biologist Jelle Atema from Boston University to find out what we know about the ways marine animals build a picture of the world around them.

Dr McLeod – the 2008 McDiarmid Young Scientist of the year – has a fascination with the slimy and disgusting that has seen her study hagfish in Fiordland and metre-long worms in Antarctica. She looks at the importance of rain forest and sea ice for the diets of these creatures. What if more forests are cut down, or if the sea ice disappears? Armed with these answers, it is becoming possible to predict the challenges ahead for these coastal creatures, and for coastal ecosystems in general. 2009 Winter Lecture Series.

Learn more about marine debris in this interview with Megan Forbes of the NOAA Marine Debris Program. The discussion covers more about marine debris including the impacts and what you can do to help.

Two segments, total time: 25:48. The second segment 14:40.Segment 1: Warm body, cold heart: Barbara Block of Stanford University talks about her research with the bluefin tuna, one of the few fish species to have a warm body. You can see how marine animals are being tracked by going to www.topp.org.Segment 2: Longer, deeper: Andreas Fahlman of the University of British Columbia Marine Mammal Research Unit in Vancouver and Global Diving Research in Ontario explains the physiology that allows mammals such as sea lions to dive so much deeper and for such a long time, compared to humans. You can find a video showing the work of Dr. Fahlman and his colleagues at www.marinemammal.org/2007/fahlman.php and more is available at www.marinemammal.org/MMRU/. The theme music you hear at the beginning and end of the show, Body Notes, was composed by APS member Hector Rasgado-Flores and was performed by the San Diego Chamber Orchestra.

In this episode, we will explore the amazing world of Marine Mammals and their incredible superpowers! Marine Mammals are warm-blooded, breathe air with lungs, and even have a bit of hair at some point in their lives. They can do awesome things like dive super deep into the ocean. We will also answer listeners' questions! We'll talk about why narwhals have long, pointy horns, whether we can train fish like we train dogs, and if big whales ever get hiccups like we do (imagine how loud that would be!). If you have any feedback, don't hesitate to say hello. Though it sometimes takes a while, we answer all our emails.Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark❤️
