Freshwater is a basic requirement of all birds, but it can be in short supply during extreme drought and in marine environments. In these situations, how do birds cope, can they drink salt water, and how might it affect their health? Dr. Sarah Gutowsky, quantitative wildlife biologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, joins Dr. Mike Brasher to discuss the adaptations that birds use for helping overcome the challenges and stresses of saltwater. From salt glands that remove salt from the blood to extraction of freshwater from food and behavioral changes to access dietary fresh water, we learn that birds are quite skilled at dealing with salty systems.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
In this episode of the Beyond Jaws podcast, special guest Alison Towner discusses her career studying great white sharks in South Africa.

These killer whales, specialized in hunting elasmobranchs, have been targeting white sharks along the coastal areas, leading to a significant decline in their numbers. The killer whales have been observed hunting and preying on white sharks, resulting in eviscerated carcasses and altered behavior in the white shark population. The continuous presence of killer whales in these areas has caused white sharks to flee from their traditional aggregation sites, such as Dire Island, leading to a shift in their distribution and abundance. The predatory pressure exerted by the killer whales has disrupted the coastal ecology, causing a ripple effect on other marine species. For example, the increased predation on white sharks has led to changes in the behavior of other mesopredators like bronze whaler sharks and an increase in competition for food resources among species like Cape fur seals and African penguins. The impact of killer whales on the white shark population has been a cause for concern among researchers and conservationists. The rapid decline in white shark numbers in areas like Hans Bay has raised questions about the broader implications of such predator-prey dynamics on marine ecosystems. The altered coastal ecology due to the presence of killer whales highlights the interconnectedness of species and the delicate balance within marine environments. The relocation and behavioral changes observed in white sharks, possibly in response to the predatory pressure from killer whales, suggest a complex and evolving relationship between these apex predators. The relocation of white sharks to offshore areas and unexpected fishing grounds indicate a potential shift in their foraging behavior and distribution patterns. This adaptation to avoid predation by killer whales showcases the resilience and adaptability of white sharks in response to changing environmental pressures. The behavior of killer whales, specifically the pair known as Port and Starboard, targeting and hunting white sharks has caused significant disruptions in the marine ecosystem in South Africa. The presence of these killer whales has led to a decrease in the white shark population in areas like Hans Bay, Mossel Bay, and False Bay. This decline in white sharks has had a cascading effect on other species in the ecosystem. One of the consequences of the decline in white sharks is the increase in Cape fur seals, as mentioned in the episode. With fewer white sharks preying on them, the Cape fur seal population has exploded, leading to potential competition for food resources with other species like African penguins. The increased predation pressure from Cape fur seals on African penguins can have detrimental effects on the penguin population, further disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. The impact of killer whales on the marine ecosystem goes beyond just the direct predation on white sharks. The presence of these apex predators can alter the behavior and distribution of other species in the area. For example, the displacement of white sharks from their traditional habitats can lead to shifts in the distribution of mesopredators like bronze whaler sharks. This shift in predator dynamics can have far-reaching consequences on the entire food web in the region. The rapid and significant changes observed in the marine ecosystem due to the hunting behavior of killer whales highlight the interconnectedness of species and the delicate balance that exists in natural ecosystems. The disruptions caused by the targeted predation on white sharks by killer whales serve as a stark reminder of the complex interactions that govern marine ecosystems and the potential consequences of altering these dynamics. The movement and distribution of white sharks in South Africa have shown fluctuations, potentially indicating shifts in their range and behavior in response to the presence of killer whales. Alison Towner, a shark scientist, discussed how the arrival of killer whales, specifically a pair named Port and Starboard, in South Africa in 2017 has had a significant impact on the white shark population. The killer whales, known for their specialized hunting of elasmobranchs, particularly sharks, have caused white sharks to alter their behavior and distribution patterns. Initially, the white sharks in areas like Hans Bay and Mossel Bay experienced displacement and a decrease in numbers due to the presence of the killer whales. The orcas' hunting tactics, such as targeting white sharks and consuming their livers, have led to a rapid decline in the white shark population in these regions. The impact of the killer whales has been profound, with white sharks avoiding their traditional aggregation sites and coastal areas where the orcas are known to hunt. The response of the white sharks to the presence of killer whales has been observed to vary. Some sharks have relocated to different areas, possibly offshore, where they are less likely to encounter the orcas. This behavior suggests a potential shift in the range and distribution of white sharks in response to the threat posed by the killer whales. The fluctuations in the white shark population and their movements highlight the complex interactions between apex predators and the cascading effects on marine ecosystems. Overall, the arrival of killer whales in South Africa has disrupted the established dynamics of the marine environment, leading to changes in the behavior and distribution of white sharks. The ongoing research and monitoring of these interactions are crucial to understanding the long-term implications for the white shark population and the broader marine ecosystem in South Africa.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 3-17-23. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of March 20 and March 27, 2023. MUSIC – ~24 sec – Lyrics: “We are on a ship, a great big ship. It takes all of us to take care of it. And we can use the stars to navigate our trip. We are riding on a ship.” “That's part of “On a Ship,” by Blacksburg, Va., musician Kat Mills. It opens an episode about two recent international meetings on our planetary ship's ocean waters. Have a listen for about 15 seconds to sounds of two ocean-going creatures—a Humpback Whale, and a Leach's Storm-Petrel—and see if you know what aspect of ocean biology was a key focus of the meetings. And here's a hint: you've got this, if you've got a lot of different living things in the sea. SOUNDS - ~17 sec If you guessed marine biodiversity, you're right! According to the American Museum of Natural History in New York, biodiversity means, quote, “the variety of life on Earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life,” unquote. In early March 2023, two international gatherings focused on biodiversity in marine waters, including in what's called the “high seas,” the waters and ocean floor areas that are more than 200 nautical miles from any nation's shores and are not under any single nation's jurisdiction. According to the Marine Conservation Institute, the high seas cover about half of the Earth's surface, contain great biodiversity, and are among the least-protected areas on Earth. On March 2 and 3, the eighth Our Ocean Conference was held in Panama, with participants from government, business, and non-profits making voluntary commitments for $20 billion towards protecting marine areas, addressing marine pollution, helping indigenous coastal communities, and other objectives. Since 2014, Our Ocean Conference participants have made over 1800 commitments worth over $100 billion. Meanwhile, at a United Nations conference on March 4 in New York, a majority of the world's nations agreed on language for a so-called “High Seas Treaty,” in the works since 2004. If ultimately ratified by individual countries, it would facilitate protected areas, fund marine conservation, provide guidelines for marine genetic resources, and provide capacity building and technology transfer to developing states. Both meetings are part of a worldwide effort called 30 by 30, that is, by 2030 to conserve and restore 30 percent of the world's land and oceans important for biodiversity, a target set at a U.N. biodiversity conference in Montreal in December 2022.

As of February 12th 2022, it's been 113 years since Charles Robert Darwin was born. As such, we're back with another Darwin Day episode! This time around, we turn our attention to His Majesty's Ship Beagle, which Darwin would famously sail on. However, most people probably don't know a lot about the ship besides this fact. So, let's explore the Beagle's past and its possible connection to the present... Sources for this episode: 1) Burchett, M.

The pandemic and subsequent lockdowns over the past two years turned many of us into avid gardeners. An unwitting consequence was also a rise in the use of plastic poly bags to grow plants in, and thus, more plastic waste after the poly bags are done with. Horrified by the thought of this, Dr Jarina Mohd Jani, a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Science and Marine Environment at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), has embarked on a project to teach people how to weave their own poly bags using leaves. In another episode of Plastic Soup, we explore how to get out of this plasticky goop, one leaf at a time.Image credit: Dr Jarina Mohd Jani Facebook PageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on World Ocean Radio we discuss the Sargasso Sea--a verdant, vital ecosystem that supports a great diversity of life, provides shelter for marine mammals, and serves as a repository for much of the spoils of human endeavor: shipping, fishing, harvesting, and pollution. And we discuss conservation efforts including the Hamilton Declaration and the formation of the Sargasso Sea Commission, protection measures working toward the establishment of an International Marine Protected Area.
Estimates are that about 10 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. This is equivalent to a truckload of plastic being dumped into the sea every minute and the stuff is not easy to keep track of. Some of it ends up in the infamous ocean garbage patches. But overall, researchers only know […]

Setiu Wetlands is one of the largest natural wetlands in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and is the only wetland in Malaysia with nine – though some say ten - interconnected ecosystems such as beaches, mudflats, lagoons, estuaries, rivers, islands, coastal forests and mangrove forests. But recently, a local environmental NGO, Ecoswed Initiative, raised the alarm about licensed sand mining activities causing damage and destruction to the beach area, and also to the Setiu Wetlands State Park, which is located next to the coastal forest. We find out what's happening over in Terengganu from Dr Jarina Mohd Jani, a researcher and lecturer from the Faculty of Science and Marine Environment at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, who will also share more about what this unique and amazing ecosystem has to offer.

Airman Khan discussed in depth about the current status of the beauty of our oceans here on Earth and how human interactions with the marine environment has influenced their activities over the years, and outweighs the advantages and disadvantages of our people's actions in the waters. He also furthers his briefing on the ecological consequences of human-related activities, such as overfishing, hunting fish for food and recreational purposes, and the biodiversity of fish and other marine organisms along with their ecosystems. Thanks to his effective usage of research and statistics supporting his findings of the briefings he found during his spare time, he formally concludes with solutions and takeaways on how to mitigate the risk of these activities from impeding the growth of the marine coastal regions and their environment in the future in great detail, which includes expanding resources to the public for education, keeping people accountable for their illegal actions on the waters, and expanding volunteer service projects through organizations in the upcoming days with passion and leading to the front.

On March 3, 1821, Congress appropriated $10,500 for three lighthouses on the Maine coast, one of them on five-acre Burnt Island at the west side of the entrance to Boothbay Harbor. In 1988, the station was automated and destaffed. A decade later, Burnt Island Light Station was transferred to the Maine Department of Marine Resources. Elaine Jones, education director for the department since 1991, was named the director of the facility. Elaine Jones painting Burnt Island Lighthouse (courtesy of Elaine Jones) Burnt Island in 2016; U.S. Lighthouse Society photo by Scott Walbert It was Elaine's vision to transform the island into an educational and recreational facility for Maine’s residents and its visitors. She has been honored with a 2019 Keeper of the Light Award by the American Lighthouse Foundation and a 2016 Visionary Award by the by the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment.

Jason Smith discusses the US Navy's role in exploring and charting the ocean world. Smith is an assistant professor of history at Southern Connecticut State University. He's the author of To Master the Boundless Sea: The US Navy, the Marine Environment, and the Cartography of Empire (UNC Press, 2018). As the United States grew into an empire in the late nineteenth century, notions like "sea power" derived not only from fleets, bases, and decisive battles but also from a scientific effort to understand and master the ocean environment. Beginning in the early nineteenth century and concluding in the first years of the twentieth, Jason W. Smith tells the story of the rise of the U.S. Navy and the emergence of American ocean empire through its struggle to control nature. In vividly told sketches of exploration, naval officers, war, and, most significantly, the ocean environment, Smith draws together insights from environmental, maritime, military, and naval history, and the history of science and cartography, placing the U.S. Navy's scientific efforts within a broader cultural context. Michael F. Robinson is professor of history at Hillyer College, University of Hartford. He's the author of The Coldest Crucible: Arctic Exploration and American Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2006) and The Lost White Tribe: Scientists, Explorers, and the Theory that Changed a Continent (Oxford University Press, 2016). He's also the host of the podcast Time to Eat the Dogs, a weekly podcast about science, history, and exploration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jason Smith discusses the US Navy’s role in exploring and charting the ocean world. Smith is an assistant professor of history at Southern Connecticut State University. He’s the author of To Master the Boundless Sea: The US Navy, the Marine Environment, and the Cartography of Empire (UNC Press, 2018). As the United States grew into an empire in the late nineteenth century, notions like "sea power" derived not only from fleets, bases, and decisive battles but also from a scientific effort to understand and master the ocean environment. Beginning in the early nineteenth century and concluding in the first years of the twentieth, Jason W. Smith tells the story of the rise of the U.S. Navy and the emergence of American ocean empire through its struggle to control nature.

FORCE BLUE is the only nonprofit organization in the world that provides “mission therapy” for former combat divers — individuals in whom governments around the world have invested millions to create the best possible underwater and maritime operators — by retraining, retooling and deploying them on missions of conservation, preservation and restoration. By uniting the community of Special Operations veterans with the world of marine science and conservation in one, mission-focused program, FORCE BLUE has created a model of caring, cooperation and positive change with the power to restore lives and restore the planet. Harkening back to the days of Jacques Cousteau and the French Commando frogmen he trained, FORCE BLUE is creating a modern-day cadre of elite combat veterans with the aptitude and ability to achieve great things on the conservation front, and the visibility to let the world actually know about it. FORCE BLUE training director, and former US Navy diver, Angelo Fiore talks about the mission and about being a Navy diver with host Jim Fausone.
New Zealand's marine environment is being described as a mess, but isn't beyond help.A Ministry for the Environment and Stats NZ report says 90 per cent of seabirds, 80 per cent of shorebirds and 20 per cent of marine mammals are threatened with, or at risk of, extinction.NIWA principal scientist Matt Pinkerton told Kate Hawkesby it's grim reading, but it is salvageable."Climate change is here for the long run - so there needs to be strategies in place about how to reduce the worst effects."LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW ABOVE
