Despite overcoming many challenges as well as mental and physical hurdles during her voyage, Zara highlights the importance of resilience, self-belief, and the power of support from loved ones.About Zara LachlanZara Lachlan is a 21-year-old physics student at Loughborough University who is joining the army in September 2025 as a technical officer. She has competed internationally in cycling and rowing which she started at 16 at Welbeck, the Army's 6th Form College. Zara heard about ocean rowing when she was much younger but only decided to take on this challenge last summer, and the first time she ever saw an ocean rowing boat was in August.Two and a half months of intensive training later, she was fully prepared to row across the Atlantic solo.Zara faced extreme weather leading to a capsize, orcas and sharks, and a near miss with a large ship, yet still describes her expedition as the most enjoyable and rewarding experience she has come across so far. Zara set out to encourage others to find a fun way to keep fit and healthy and gain the confidence needed to try something new. None of her crossing would have been possible without the support she got from the charity Team Forces and all her sponsors.Connect with Zara Lachlan via Instagram Key Quotes"I didn't have a big reason to row across an ocean, I just thought it would be fun.""Some days, I rowed for 21 hours, and it still wasn't enough. That was a hard lesson in learning to accept what's out of my control.""For almost 60 days, I had no music, no distractions, just the ocean, the wildlife, and my own thoughts.""The hardest part wasn't the physical challenge. It was waking up every day knowing I had 3,000 miles left to go.""Nine times out of ten, you're stronger than you think you are. The only way to find out is to go for it."Connect with Access to Inspiration: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Read our Impact Report and if you would like to support us then Buy Me A CoffeeProducer: Sue Stockdale   Sound Editor: Matias De Ezcurra Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/access-to-inspiration--4156820/support.

Marine conservation is in trouble — and the biggest problem isn't just pollution or overfishing. The real issue is that people are becoming disconnected from the ocean, and that lack of concern is threatening marine ecosystems worldwide. In this episode, I'm reporting from Oahu, Hawaii, where I've witnessed firsthand the troubling signs of ocean health decline — and why fewer people seem to care.   Ocean protection is critical, but public interest in marine issues is fading. People aren't engaging with the pressing issues of climate change, coral reef degradation, and marine biodiversity loss the way they used to. If we can't shift this narrative and rebuild a connection with the ocean, conservation efforts may fail.   Sustainable ocean management and marine advocacy are more important than ever. I'll share why this disconnect is happening, what it means for the future of our oceans, and how we can take meaningful action to change course. Tune in to discover the truth about marine conservation — and why restoring our connection to the ocean is key to saving it.  

Environmental concerns are rising over the Interstate Bridge Replacement Project.

Before billionaires dreamed of setting up communities on Mars, the ocean was seen as the next frontier in human habitation. Reviving this dream is Deep, a project backed by an anonymous millionaire to the tune of more than £100m that aims to establish a ‘permanent human presence' under the sea from 2027. Guardian Seascape editor Lisa Bachelor visited the project just outside Chepstow on the Welsh border, and tells Madeleine Finlay what scientists hope to learn about the ocean by spending extended periods living underwater.

When you think of sharks, do you think Jaws? Or a creature with enough understanding to seek help from a person? Would you be surprised to know, that someone has been working with sharks for years to the point, that they allow her to take out hooks lodged in their skin? Given our misconceptions of the creatures, I'd imagine you would be. Cristina Zenato is that person, who's a master diver and expert on sharks. She's built an amazing relationship with the sharks around the Bahamas, creating a deep connection with them, to a degree I can only understand through bonds we build with more familiar animals. In this interview Cristina gives us a deeper understanding of sharks, her ability to work with them, the virtue in knowing a single place deeply, the reality of the marine environment that's facing environmental destruction, and some wisdom from the sharks.

This bait ball in Australia surprised beachgoers at Manly Beach last week as three separate bait balls combined to form one huge ball. The bait ball is a natural process that fish use to help protect themselves against predators such as sharks, tuna, swordfish, marine mammals, and seabirds. If this was a natural process, then why were beachgoers asked to get out of the water? Summary In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses a fascinating natural phenomenon that occurred at Manly Beach in Australia: the formation of a large bait ball. A bait ball is created when schools of fish come together in a tight formation to protect themselves from predators. This behavior is a survival strategy, as being part of a larger group reduces individual vulnerability to attacks. The episode highlights the rare occurrence of this bait ball close to shore, which prompted lifeguards to evacuate swimmers for safety. Lewin explains that while bait balls are often seen in the open ocean, their presence in shallow waters can attract various predators, making it crucial for beachgoers to stay out of the water during such events. The podcast also touches on the excitement generated by drone footage capturing the bait ball, likening it to scenes from nature documentaries. This event not only showcases the dynamic interactions within marine ecosystems but also emphasizes the importance of understanding these natural behaviors for ocean conservation. Overall, the episode serves as a reminder of the intricate relationships in the ocean and the need for awareness and protection of marine life.

Climate change is altering the number, variety and distribution of plants and animals around the coast of Scotland according to a new report from NatureScot. It's good news for some sea-snails and barnacles, but not so good for blue mussels and the wildlife that feeds on them. Scientists have been surveying changes in 50 species at 167 locations around the Scottish coast to assess the impact of minute increases in sea temperature. This week we're looking at the jobs that fill up farmers' days in January when there's not much to harvest and there's not much growing. Today it's muck spreading. We visit a beef farm in the Scottish Highlands where the farmer's been cleaning out the cattle sheds, and using the muck to fertilise the fields. However farmers can't just spread as much muck as they want, anywhere, at any time and because agriculture is a devolved power there are different regulations across different parts of the UK. Nitrate Vulnerable Zones or NVZs are designated in England and Scotland to add additional protection to water courses, and there are broader controls in place across both Wales and Northern Ireland. We talk to a senior lecturer in soil and environmental science about who can spread what, where and when.Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

From humpback whales to bottlenose dolphins, there's been an uptick in sightings of marine life around the world. Biologists and marine ecologists say it's part of a resurgence of life in the oceans, the result of decades of global conservation efforts.

Sea Turtle Conservation in Florida is hard and it's about to get harder with the onset of increased intensity of hurricanes and increased sea level rise. Sea Turtle Conservation has been successful over the past few decades with protection policies being implemented along Florida coastlines. Still, hurricane events and increased sea level rise can wipe out nests in one storm killing hundreds of thousands of sea turtles. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lord discusses the challenges facing sea turtle conservation in Florida, particularly in light of climate change. While sea turtles have seen a resurgence due to decades of conservation efforts, new threats are emerging that jeopardize their future. The episode highlights the impact of climate change, specifically the increase in hurricane intensity and rising sea levels, on sea turtle nesting. The 2024 hurricane season demonstrated these vulnerabilities, with storms like Hurricane Beryl and Hurricane Debbie destroying hundreds of nests along Florida's Gulf Coast. The physical toll on nesting beaches, including erosion and loss of habitat, poses a significant threat to the survival of sea turtles. Sea turtles play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, maintaining the health of seagrass beds and coral reefs. Their decline could have far-reaching consequences for marine biodiversity. The episode emphasizes that protecting sea turtles from climate change impacts is a complex challenge that requires collective action. Listeners are encouraged to support beach conservation programs, advocate for climate action, and get involved with local organizations dedicated to protecting sea turtles and their habitats. Despite the daunting challenges posed by climate change, the episode conveys a message of hope, urging individuals to take action to ensure the survival of these iconic marine creatures.

Blue whales are the largest animals to have ever lived but they were once hunted to the brink of extinction. The international community only agreed to stop hunting them in 1965 when they numbered fewer than 200. Now scientists are using new methods to learn whether the number of blue whales in the wild is increasing – and they are seeing and hearing promising signs.

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.

Plastic pollution clean up through absorption is now a possibility by using a combination of cotton and chittin to take microplastics out of the ocean...but can this work at scale? In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lo discusses the pressing issue of microplastics in the ocean and introduces a promising new method for their absorption using a combination of cotton and chitin. The mechanism involves creating a sponge-like substance called CT cell biomass, which combines cellulose from cotton and chitin from squid. This innovative material is designed to effectively capture microplastics from water. The process begins by breaking the original hydrogen bonds in cellulose and chitin, allowing them to bind together and form a stable framework with numerous activated hydrogen bonding sites. This structure enhances the material's ability to absorb microplastics through various interactions, including physical interception and electrostatic attraction. Research indicates that this foam can remove 98 to 99.9% of microplastics from water samples, showcasing its potential as an eco-friendly solution for addressing microplastic pollution.

A group of Somali youths is working to protect the country's marine environment by organizing weekly beach cleanups in Mogadishu. Despite limited support, they have collected over 2 million kilograms of trash in recent months. Their dedication was recently recognized with the global Arab Volunteer Award in Beirut, Lebanon, as Mohamed Sheikh Nor reports from Mogadishu.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the pressing issue of plastic pollution and highlights a promising biological solution involving African mealworms. The episode focuses on the Kenyan lesser mealworm, a larval form of the Alphitobius darkling beetle, which has shown the ability to break down polystyrene, commonly known as styrofoam. This capability is attributed to the unique microbes and bacteria in the mealworms' gut. Researchers are studying these gut bacteria to identify specific communities that facilitate the degradation of plastic materials. Key findings from the research indicate that the mealworms can effectively digest polystyrene when provided with a nutrient-rich diet, such as bran, alongside the styrofoam. This balanced diet appears to enhance the production of the necessary bacteria and enzymes to break down plastic. The study revealed significant shifts in bacterial composition based on the mealworms' diet, suggesting that the gut microbiome adapts to optimize plastic degradation. The episode emphasizes the potential of harnessing these naturally occurring bacteria and enzymes for large-scale applications in plastic waste management, particularly in regions like Africa, where plastic waste poses significant environmental challenges. By isolating and utilizing these microbial communities, there is hope for developing innovative methods to biologically process plastic waste, reducing reliance on harmful chemical recycling methods. The podcast presents a hopeful perspective on using biological solutions, like the African mealworm, to combat plastic pollution and promote environmental conservation.

Howard Wood was born in 1954 and has lived on the Isle of Arran since the age of 14 and he's been diving the seas around Arran Island Scotland since 1973. In 1995, he and fellow diver Don MacNeish set up the Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST).Since 2003, Howard has spent the majority of his time volunteering with COAST. He has an extensive knowledge of the marine environment in the Clyde, has created a photographic and video archive of Arran marine life, and was COAST Chair for ten years before stepping down in 2018. Howard was involved in writing marine management proposals to the Scottish Government, including the final Arran Marine Regeneration trial proposal of February 2005. These led to the creation of a no take zone in Lamlash Bay, designated in 2008. He was also a key primary source of marine survey records supporting the South Arran Marine Protected Area proposal designated in 2014. Since designation, he has led baseline surveys of the area. Howard has attended many meetings with the Scottish government, Scottish Natural Heritage, Marine Scotland and Fishermen Associations and has also appeared before parliamentary committees on a number of occasions.Howard received the Goldman Environmental Prize in April 2015 for his work with COAST and was awarded an OBE for services to the Marine Environment in 2015.  Howard and COAST were recently part of the epic PBS documentary Hope in the Water.In this episode, Mark and Howard discuss working with community to save what they love, methods of preserving aquaculture and the current methods that people use to save marine environments and what it was like to work on the production of Hope in the Water.Save What You Love with Mark Titus:⁣Produced: Emilie FirnEdited: Patrick Troll⁣Music: Whiskey Class⁣Instagram: @savewhatyoulovepodcastWebsite: savewhatyoulove.evaswild.comSupport wild salmon at evaswild.com

Our guest in this WeWhale Pod episode is Dan Jarvis, Director of Welfare and Conservation with British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR). Dan talks about moving to Cornwall and how this influenced his interests and career. He also explains the origins of BDMLR and how it expanded from focusing on seal rescues in its early days to also coming to the aid of stranded or entangled whales, dolphins and porpoises. The organisation is an NGO and has 2,500 trained volunteers. Dan also shares the story of how a northern bottlenose whale turned up in the river Thames in London in 2006 and the subsequent rescue attempt that BDMLR and other organisations were involved in which gained huge media attention.  He also talks about how welcome it is that more research is being carried out into stranded animal welfare, and his hope that we will see better legal protection for marine mammals.

Blue whales are the largest animals to have ever lived but they were once hunted to the brink of extinction. The international community only agreed to stop hunting them in 1965 when they numbered fewer than 200. Now scientists are using new methods to learn whether the number of blue whales in the wild is increasing – and they are seeing and hearing promising signs. Reporter Luca Ittamani speaks to marine mammal acoustician Brian Miller about the whale's Antarctic resurgence You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin shares exciting news about the establishment of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of California. This sanctuary is groundbreaking as it is the first of its kind in California to be co-managed in partnership with Indigenous peoples, specifically the Chumash people. Spanning 4,500 square miles, the sanctuary will prohibit oil drilling and protect numerous cultural resources, including the suspected remains of ancient submerged villages. The designation of this marine protected area (MPA) is a significant step towards recognizing and honoring the rights and knowledge of Indigenous communities in ocean management. The journey to establish the sanctuary began in 2015, with the Chumash people advocating for its protection. After facing setbacks during the Trump administration, the Biden administration prioritized the proposal, leading to its recent designation. While the sanctuary's boundaries may not encompass all desired areas, it represents a crucial victory for Indigenous rights and environmental protection. The episode emphasizes the importance of collaboration and communication among various ocean users, highlighting the need for ongoing dialogue to ensure that all voices, especially those of Indigenous communities, are heard in the management of marine resources. The Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary not only aims to protect marine biodiversity but also serves as a model for future co-management efforts, fostering trust and cooperation between Indigenous peoples and government agencies. Overall, this episode celebrates the establishment of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary as a landmark achievement in marine conservation and Indigenous rights, paving the way for more inclusive and effective ocean management practices.

Shark fishing is alive and well, but the fishermen who do it are increasingly prioritizing conservation. And, an unknown ant was spotted in Manhattan in 2011, and it quickly spread through New York City. We now know what it is.Fishing For—And Saving—Sharks off the Jersey ShoreAt an undisclosed beach at 5:30 p.m. in New Jersey, shark fisherman AJ Rotondella and two clients wait for beachgoers to leave. Once the beach is empty, Rotondella cuts up some chunks of fish as bait, and casts lines into the water.“I shark fish, shark fish, shark fish, eat pizza, and shark fish … that's pretty much it,” Rotondella said. “Waking up in the morning … wide open ocean, anything could be anywhere at any time. And I think that's fascinating. No matter how long you've done this, you've never seen it all.”He has always loved fishing, and got into shark fishing 13 years ago, when his brother told him they could catch sharks from the beach. They caught two on their first day and could not catch another shark for the rest of the year.“That really got me interested because I knew it was possible, but I couldn't do it again,” he said. “I … absolutely obsessed over this.”But Rotondella had a steep learning curve ahead of him. By trial and error, sometimes staying on a beach for multiple days, he learned how to read the tides, water temperatures, currents, and even phases of the moon to figure out how to track the sharks.Read the full story at sciencefriday.com.Scientists Identify The ‘ManhattAnt' Spreading Across NYCNew York City is home to more than 8 million people. But there's another massive population below their feet: ants.In 2011, when surveying ant populations on Broadway and Times Square, researchers got quite a surprise: an unidentified species of ant, which was soon dubbed the “ManhattAnt.” Since then, it has become the second-most populous ant species in New York City.Earlier this year, the first study on this unidentified species was released. It concluded that this species, Lasius emarginatus, likely hitchhiked from Europe to the US. Though their populations have grown tremendously, it's unclear how the ants are interacting with New York's native ants.Joining guest host Sophie Bushwick to discuss this ant species is Dr. Clint Penick, assistant professor of insect ecology at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

For a long time, western science and Indigenous knowledge have been seen as distinct ways of learning about the world. But as we plunge the planet deeper into environmental crises, it is becoming clear that it is time to pay attention to both. Bridging that gap has been the driving force behind the career of the botanist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer. She tells Madeleine Finlay what we can learn from the most ancient plants on Earth, why we need to cultivate gratitude for the natural world and what western science can learn from Indigenous knowledge.
