Podcasts about marine reserves

Most of us drive nearly every day, whether on the commute to work or to pick up groceries or to take the occasional road trip. With so much time spent in the car, it's vital that you keep your vehicle in excellent working order. When you take your vehicle in for standard maintenance or for a necessary car repair, you're ensuring the safety of your loved ones and of your investment. But where you take your car for service matters; does your local auto body shop provide top quality care for your car? We spoke with Louie Sharp, the owner of Sharp Auto Body in Illinois, all about how to ensure you're getting the best vehicle care possible.Louie Sharp is wired to help people. He's been serving others non-stop since the 1970s when he served us all in the United States Marine Corps. After his release, Louie continued in the Marine Reserves for another sixteen years where he was a jet engine mechanic on both “E” and “N” model Huey helicopters. After active duty, the automotive world seemed to be calling his name. So in 1980 Louie became a full time apprentice body man with Scott's Auto Body in Arlington Heights, Illinois. At the same time he took the first step toward owning his own shop. In 1981 Sharp Auto Body opened its doors, and the dream was a reality. By the late ‘80s Louie was ready for another challenge and opened his towing business where he continues to offer 24 hour towing service. Louie Sharp is committed to excellence and well-being in everything he does. Safety, integrity and outrageous customer service are the keys to his success. I-Car certified, he is a graduate of the Automotive Management Success Program. He is an active member of the Automotive Service Association as well as DuPont's Performance Alliance and 20 Group Programs.Read More at: https://petite2queen.com/ensure-car-repair-protects-investment-loved-ones/Support the showCheck out Petite2Queen for more great interviews, podcasts, and blogs to help you achieve more, faster!https://www.petite2queen.com/​

Two New Zealand salvage companies are preparing to remove fuel and other pollutants from the HMNZS Manawanui, that is 30 metres metres under water after sinking off the coast of Samoa in October. The ship went down after hitting a reef in a Marine Reserve off the island of Upolu. 75 crew and passengers were rescued after being forced to abandon ship. Manawanui has nearly a 1000 tonnes of automotive gas oil on board, that has diesel like qualities. While the main tanks are still believed to be intact, offiicals estimate up to 200,000 litres of fuel from other parts of the ship have leaked into the sea. Navy Commodore Andrew Brown is in charge of Operation Resolution, he spoke to Lisa Owen.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/623  Presented by: Togiak River Lodge, Visit Helena, MT, Stonefly Nets, Yellowstone Teton Territory Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors  Craig Hayes, owner of Turneffe Flats Lodge, has spent the last 40 years pioneering conservation efforts and catch-and-release practices, making Belize a top destination for anglers. In this episode, Craig shares the fascinating history of the lodge, innovative programs shaping the fishing industry, and tips for planning a successful tarpon trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, Craig's insights and stories are not to be missed. Welcome back to Belize for another big one with Craig Hayes from tflats.com! Episode Chapters with Craig Hayes on Turneffe Flats Lodge 1:26 - Craig shares how he got into fly fishing in the 1970s while living in the Black Hills of South Dakota, learning from a young boy who later became a manager an ER doctor, and then manager at Turneffe Flats. 5:09 - He highlights Turneffe Atoll as a prime location due to its less developed nature and diverse fishing opportunities, allowing anglers to catch various species like bonefish, permit, and tarpon. He also mentions that they offer rental programs for those who don't have the necessary equipment. 11:09 -We dig into the conservation efforts of flats fishing in Belize. Craig shares positive findings from recent surveys of fishing guides, which indicate that the fish population, including bonefish, is thriving, with an increase in both the size and number of fish. He attributes much of this success to Belize's 2009 Catch and Release Legislation, which protects species like bonefish, permit, and tarpon. 17:20 - Craig explains that the key to successfully passing this legislation was making a strong economic argument. They hired a fisheries economist who studied flats fishing in Belize. The study revealed that flats fishing had a significant financial impact. This data was presented to government officials, emphasizing the economic benefits of protecting certain fish species. 22:15 - He discusses the current situation in Belize, where there is significant development interest, particularly in tropical coastal areas. He expresses concern about the potential negative impact on flats fishing, an important part of Belize's economy. Instead of addressing each development project individually, Craig advocates for a comprehensive approach to protect all flats in Belize. 24:28 - We reflect on their journey in the fishing and tourism industry, particularly focusing on their experiences since starting a fishing lodge in Belize. Craig and his wife have been involved in the business for 24 years. Craig recounts how he became interested in bonefishing after reading an article in Sports Illustrated, which inspired him and his friends to consider starting a bonefishing lodge in Belize, despite minimal tourism at the time. 29:00 - We talk about sustainable tourism and its implementation within Craig's operation. Craig highlighted that their operation is completely off-grid, relying on an extensive solar system that generates 75% of their energy and a sophisticated water system that primarily uses stored rainwater. 31:04 - Craig expresses that Yvon Chouinard is his hero due to his approach to life, conservation, and business. Inspired by Yvon, Craig and his wife are planning to implement a purpose trust for their business, which will allocate the majority of its future disposable income to conservation efforts. 39:01 - Craig mentions two primary conservation groups: the Turneffe Atoll Trust, which has driven initiatives like catch and release practices, and the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association, known for its successful management of the Marine Reserve. 42:50 - Craig discusses the best times to visit Belize. He explains that bonefish and permit fishing are available year-round, depending on tides and weather. However, the prime time for migratory tarpon fishing is from mid-April through August. Bookings for this period are already filling up for 2025. Craig advises bringing a variety of fishing rods to be prepared for different conditions in May. 46:03 - Craig elaborates on their journey, mentioning that they started with very minimal resources—a small Honda generator running only a few hours each night—but over 40 years, they managed to evolve and improve their situation significantly. 47:51 - We delve into the current fishing conditions and how climate change impacts their activities. Craig explains they've been experiencing an unusual heatwave in Belize, which has negatively affected the reef and the fish. Before this heatwave, fishing was excellent, but now they hope for rain and cooler weather to improve the situation. 51:08 - Craig mentions that besides their fishing programs, they offer high-quality eco-tours and a top-notch scuba diving program. These tours are designed to cater to families, with activities such as snorkeling and diving available for those who may not be as interested in fishing. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/623

Raul "Art" Sifuentes was born in Michigan and knew he wanted to be a U.S. Marine when he watched John Wayne in "The Sands of Iwo Jima" when he was just 11 years old. At age 17, while still in high school, Sifuentes enlisted in Marine Reserves and went on active duty after graduation. He left the Corps after three years and attended college.After receiving his undergraduate degree, Sifuentes planned to pursue a Masters degree, but a meeting with a Marine officer selection official changed all that. Soon, we was off to flight school to learn how to fly helicopters. Shortly after that, he was off for the first of three tours in Vietnam.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Sifuentes takes us through flight training, the wide variety of missions he flew in Vietnam, including many in hot zones to extract reconaissance teams or wounded service members. He also details the work on his third tour in helping to remove mines from Haiphong Harbor and discusses the horrible treatment our troops received from Americans when they returned home.Finally, Sifuentes details his rewarding work with the Iwo Jima Association and why he is forever grateful to have served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

New Zealand once led the world in marine protection. Now it looks like we will fail to meet our international promise to protect 30 percent of our ocean estate by 2030. Why is stopping fishing so politically fraught? How might our ideas about marine protection need to change? And why, when our seas are in need, is it taking us so long to learn to talk to each other?

New Zealand once led the world in marine protection. Now it looks like we will fail to meet our international promise to protect 30 percent of our ocean estate by 2030. Why is stopping fishing so politically fraught? How might our ideas about marine protection need to change? And why, when our seas are in need, is it taking us so long to learn to talk to each other?

This is our first episode of 2024, and I can't think of a better guest to start the year off with than State Representative David Gomberg.Representative Gomberg represents House district 10, which encompassess Lincoln County, as well as parts of western Benton and Lane counties, and happens to be my State Representative.Among many other positions, he serves as co-vice chair of the powerful Ways and Means budgeting committee and co-chair of the subcommittee on Transportation and Economic Development, and is the Chair of the bipartisan Coastal Caucus.Before we get started, if you want to learn more about the Oregon Legislature, how it works, how to meaningfully engage, how to contact your representatives, and more, oregonlegislature.gov is a pretty great resource for a government run website.  There are also links to resources and tutorials in our show notes below.You can also email me, michael@coastrange.org, with questions, comments, or suggestions about this episode, or anything else.Show Notes:David Gomberg Legislative Webpage https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/gomberghttps://www.oregonlegislature.gov/https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2023I1#Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

The government is establishing six new marine reserves in the south-east of the South Island - a move welcomed by Forest & Bird. This comes a year after New Zealand signed up to the international '30x30' initiative to protect 30 percent of land and oceans by 2030. But there's a long way to go to ensure 30 percent of Aotearoa's oceans are protected in the next six years. Forest & Bird Regional Conservation Manager for Otago Southland Chelsea McGraw spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Wellington boasts some pretty cosy spots for seals to shelter away from chilly southerlies. A rarely spotted leopard seal with a nasty bite was found bathing in the rain on Freyberg Beach on Tuesday, hours after a fur seal pup was found warming his flippers on Ngauranga's train tracks. DOC's Marine Reserve ranger for the Kāpiti-Wellington District, Tony Milner, has been tending to wandering marine life all week - after an elated Eastbourne resident woke up to a pup on his doorstep at the weekend. He says seals are "popping up here, there and everywhere lately". Milner spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

A fishing boat aground on rocks near Banks Peninsula is leaking diesel and hydraulic oil close to a marine reserve.    The 25-metre-long Austro Carina activated its emergency beacon at 9:38pm on Sunday.  The four crew members made it to shore and were winched aboard a helicopter to safety.  Maritime NZ has opened an investigation. The area is home to protected tāonga species such as kororā/little blue penguin, hoiho/yellow-eyed penguin, kekeno/NZ fur seal, upokohue/Hector's dolphins, and several other seabird species. The Canterbury Regional Council is working to contain the spill - its on-scene commander is Emma Parr. Parr spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Paul is joined by Joe Liebezeit and Allison Anholt of Portland Audubon to talk about their work conserving coastal habitats and the birds that rely on them. We learn about Oregon's Marine Reserve Program and three birds that depend on healthy coastal ecosystems: Marbled Murrelets, Western Snowy Plovers, and Black Oystercatchers. Joe and Annie discuss the specific needs and conservation challenges these birds are facing as well as the incredible amount of work it takes to create a conservation success story. The obstacles are often daunting, and it takes a combination of good science, political action, and community engagement to protect wildlife and their habitats. To learn more about Portland Audubon and sign up for their mailing list so that you, too, can take action for birds and wildlife, visit https://audubonportland.org/take-action/.If you want to get involved with Portland Audubon's community science efforts, check out https://audubonportland.org/get-involved/community-science/.In the introduction, Paul provides an overview of what birds you can expect to see this month on the Oregon Coast.

The Cascade Head Biosphere Region consists of more than 100,000 acres and has been recognized by the United Nations for its rare and diverse ecosystem. The area includes the Cascade Head Experimental Forest and Marine Reserve and Marine Protected Areas. The Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative has organized the “Art on the Beach” sand art competition to continue its mission of educating about the importance of protecting the biosphere. Duncan Berry is the co-director of the Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative. He’s also an artist and will be creating some sand art. He joins us with details of the event and what he hopes Oregonians will learn about the area. 

During the Vietnam War, with two years of college, Tom Speer was facing the draft. Out of curiosity, he visited a Marine recruiter and saw a photo of an F-4 and was hooked. The recruiter sent him to take numerous tests - which he aced - and he signed up to be a Marine Aviation Cadet. He had a bit of incentive when he received his draft notice!   Tom attended Navy/Marine flight training and was selected to fly jets. He was dogged in his pursuit of flying the F-4, turning down other jet offers until he prevailed. After F-4 training he was sent to Chu Lai, South Vietnam for his combat tour.   Returning from Vietnam he finished college and flew F-8s in the Marine Reserves, retiring as a Colonel. At the same time, he flew for Eastern, and honored the strike.   Following Eastern, he was hired by United Airlines, and was selected to manage the SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) project, flying 747s at high altitude for NASA scientific research.   Tom now flight instructs on Beech 1900 aircraft.

Our third show with Lawman is a fun one. He opens the show describing how embarrassed he felt living the good life in Qatar while getting combat pay - though he did have to go to Afghanistan to prevent the outbreak of violence between the Marines and the Air Force! Then we back into how he was serving as the Full-Time Support (FTS) Officer for the Marine Reserve squadron in Willow Grove, PA. You will laugh out loud at the segment we call “An Approach Article Waiting to Happen” as Lawman tells about flying on a snowy night, unable to hear the pilot in the back seat, flying the second worst approach in the history of Naval Aviation; and then getting chewed-out because neither he nor the Major General in his back seat were qualified to fly that TA-4 that night! Lawman then tells how he applied to the Blue Angels to stay in a flying job for his next tour. Despite the pressure from his competition and the Monitor (the Marine who assigns your next duty station) to pull his application and forget it - Lawman was chosen to be a Blue Angel. Then the fun REALLY began! Whether it was pranks played on the FNG (Funny New Guy) or a steep learning curve, Lawman found out the hard way that initiative isn't always worth the trouble. This week's episode title was inspired when he tried to help the team and got yelled at on the radio for his efforts. No good deed goes unpunished!  Getting selected to be a Blue Angel may be the "easy part." Once you're there you have to perform. We close out with Lawman wondering if he made the wrong choice - riding on his first practice airshow with the Blues he wasn't sure they would make it through their first maneuver! Thanks this week goes out to “Sticks” for our new website logo. Check the pilot's visor. If you don't get it, go look up the Far Side cartoon from February 2, 1983! And thanks also to Dos Gringos for the music we use on So There I Was.

It was such a fun experience and since then I've seen it a number of times on various ships and each ship does it in a similar manner.I have noticed that crew members taking part seem to get special attentionWhat I'd like to know is;What is the tradition behind this nautical mayhem?Also if a ship is doing a world cruise does the crossing the line ceremony happen every time she passes the equator?Part of this question was answered in detail in Episode 68 – https://bit.ly/2UD2afjGill from SA asks Chris – what is the algorithm you talk about?Vilma from UK asks Baz – What makes TeeMill (your chosen supplier of podcast merchandise) so good.TeeMill: https://the-big-cruise-podcast.teemill.com/the-journey/ Example of “Buy a Tee, Plant a Tree” promotion:A holistic approach to reforestationThis weekend, we count your orders and fund the planting of trees in your brand's name. Our international tree planting partners work to address reforestation through a mixture of approaches. As well as directly seeding land with native seed species, they also employ methods like creating ‘seed bombs' which contain seeds mixed with clay, compost and soil, ready to plant when the rainy season arrives. After the trees are planted, protecting them is vital. Patrols and guard towers watch for fires and keep the forests from getting cut down illegally or destroyed by natural disasters.34 football pitches of forest plantedTogether, so far, across our tree planting weekends, we've planted enough trees to sequester over 1.7 million kilograms of CO2 from the atmosphere. Trees are the ultimate carbon storage system without requiring any expensive tech, helping to fight climate change. What's more, they also help to cool our air by releasing water through their leaves which then turns into water vapour. The larger the tree, the more carbon it can hold which is why our tree planting partners work hard to protect forests as well as plant them. You can find your own tree planting stats in Analytics and set a Green Friday target for customers to get behind. Posting live updates across the weekend is a great way to keep your community engaged as you move towards your reforestation goal.Guest Lecturer - Tamara Tamara is an 8th generation Australian.

The nutrient-rich waters of the newly-expanded Galápagos Marine Reserve are an oasis for one of the world's highest concentrations of ocean biodiversity, including nearly 3,000 species of marine wildlife. Galápagos Conservancy is on the leading edge of combatting climate change and incursions by invasive species, and Hurtigruten funding will go toward this and a wide array of marine protection and restoration programs; andSaving Pink Land Iguanas. On the remote slopes of Wolf Volcano on Isabela Island, the endemic Pink Land Iguana — a key species in the development of evolutionary science — is teetering on the brink of extinction.

Aotearoa's coastal waters are protected by more than 40 marine reserves, where it is illegal to fish, disturb or take any marine life. Even after decades of protection, damage caused by overfishing and human activity is still visible in some reserves. Marine scientists say stopping fishing isn't enough and its time to intervene. Samantha Gee, literally, took a deep dive.

The world-famous protected vibrant ecosystem of the Galapagos may not be protected at all. Nicknamed the Great Wall of China, the Chinese fishing fleet that descended on the Galapagos in 2020 made news around the world, but what is it going to take to actually stop it?The fleet could be seen from space, spanning almost double the length of the Galapagos archipelago itself. The most frightening thing about the situation was the fact that this is not the first time, nor the only country, that has targeted the outskirts of the Galapagos marine reserve for fishing. The lack of control over the high seas is having an impact that is trickling down to communities such as those of the Galapagos Islands. Their beaches becoming filled with plastic waster from a fleet, not even visible from shore, and the local fish and shark populations that tourism depends on are being targeted. From inside Ecuador's government, we speak to senior advisor Jeff Leblanc. During this podcast, we cover not only some of the things that occur in our open seas at the hands of industrial fishing vessels but the laws that need to be changed and enforced to end it.Support Mare NostrumFollow Mare Nostrum on InstagramGet in touch!

https://www.simplyscuba.com - So, what was found in the reserve’s waters? Well… if you’ve read the title of this video then you already know… it was a 120-meter-long fishing net.
