Podcasts about Marine life

Ever since the earliest known recording of whale song was made in 1949, researchers have been captivated by the wails, rumbles, clicks, grunts and squeals of their communication. As technology improves, scientists are decoding the intricate patterns that make different species' vocalisations distinctive. Madeleine Finlay hears from Emma Bryce, a journalist who has spent months investigating human efforts to understand whale song. She explains how this knowledge could help us better protect whales from human-made harms. Credits: 1. Copyright 1978 National Geographic Society and 1977 Capitol Records, Inc.

That's the bird tank!" Minseo led Jiho excitedly.Ko: 그런 그녀를 따라가면서도 지호의 마음 한편엔 두려움이 싹터 있었습니다.En: Following her, Jiho still felt a hint of fear growing inside him.Ko: 큰 상어 수조 앞에 서있을 생각에 지호는 살짝 얼굴이 굳어졌습니다.En: Thinking about standing in front of the large shark tank, Jiho's face slightly tensed up.Ko: 학생들이 하나둘씩 상어 수조로 향하면서, 지호의 마음은 더욱 조여왔습니다.En: As the students headed one by one towards the shark tank, Jiho's anxiety grew even stronger.Ko: 그러나 민서의 행복한 얼굴을 보니 어쩐지 용기가 생겼습니다.En: However, upon seeing Minseo's happy face, Jiho somehow felt courage building up.Ko: '그래, 이번 기회에 내 두려움을 극복해보자,' 지호는 속으로 다짐했습니다.En: 'Alright, let's use this opportunity to overcome my fear,' Jiho resolved internally.Ko: 두 친구는 손을 잡고 터널 속으로 들어갔습니다.En: The two friends held hands and entered the tunnel.Ko: 물고기가 머리 위로 헤엄쳐 다니는 모습은 그야말로 장관이었습니다.En: The sight of fish swimming overhead was truly a spectacle.Ko: 하지만 그 순간, 크고 무서운 상어가 지호와 민서 머리 위로 유유히 지나갔습니다.En: But at that moment, a large and scary shark leisurely swam over Jiho and Minseo's heads.Ko: 지호는 순간 숨이 막히는 듯 했습니다.En: Jiho felt like he couldn't breathe for a moment.Ko: "지호, 괜찮아? 상어는 그냥 물고기일 뿐이야. 괜찮아, 함께 하잖아." 민서가 진지하게 말했습니다.En: "Jiho, are you okay? A shark is just a fish. It's alright, we're here together." Minseo spoke sincerely.Ko: 지호는 민서의 말을 들으니 마음이 조금씩 편해졌습니다.En: Hearing Minseo's words, Jiho gradually felt more at ease.Ko: 그녀가 손을 꼭 잡아주자 지호는 마음을 다잡고 다시 수조를 바라보았습니다.En: As she held his hand tightly, Jiho gathered his thoughts and looked back at the tank.Ko: 시간이 흐르면서 지호는 이곳이 얼마나 아름다운지 느낄 수 있었습니다.En: As time went on, Jiho began to realize how beautiful this place was.Ko: 환상적인 물속 세상이 두렵기보다 신비롭다는 생각이 들었습니다.En: The underwater world seemed more mystical than frightening.Ko: 민서는 지호에게 미소를 지었고, 지호는 자신도 모르게 미소로 답했습니다.En: Minseo smiled at Jiho, and he unknowingly returned the smile.Ko: 그날 이후 지호는 물에 대한 두려움을 조금씩 극복하기 시작했습니다.En: After that day, Jiho slowly began to overcome his fear of water.Ko: 민서의 도움으로 그는 두려움이 아닌 아름다움에 집중할 수 있게 되었습니다.En: Thanks to Minseo's help, he was able to focus on the beauty rather than the fear.Ko: 두려움을 친구와 나누니 오히려 마음이 가벼워지는 기분이 들었습니다.En: Sharing his fears with a friend made him feel lighter in spirit.Ko: 아쿠아리움을 나온 지호는 민서에게 말했습니다. "다음에 또 오자! 이번엔 더 많은 것들을 보자."En: As they left the aquarium, Jiho said to Minseo, "Let's come again next time!

The massive foundations that support offshore wind turbines can be an oasis for marine life in an otherwise submarine desert, according to work done at Murdoch University in Australia and Dalian Ocean University in China.

Recent research from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory suggests that tidal turbines pose a much lower risk to marine ecosystems than previously anticipated by environmental critics. Using advanced underwater surveillance and AI detection, scientists observed that harbor seals, fish, and seabirds possess the natural intelligence and physical agility to avoid rotating blades. The study recorded a 98 percent safety rate for fish and found that mammals like seals actively perform evasive maneuvers to bypass the machinery. These findings are significant because they may resolve the regulatory deadlock that has hindered the growth of the renewable tidal energy industry. While the study utilized a small-scale model, it provides crucial data that could pave the way for more reliable, lunar-driven power sources.#TidalEnergy #MarineRenewables #TidalTurbines #RenewableEnergy #OceanEnergy #CleanEnergy #HarborSeals #MarineWildlife #EnvironmentalImpact #AIinConservation #UnderwaterMonitoring #FishSafety #SeabirdProtection #GreenEnergy #LunarPower #TidalPower#SustainableEnergy #MarineEcosystem #EnergyInnovation #PNNLResearchJoin our Discordhttps://discord.gg/W7cy7Tg9http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlantisseacolony/

Tsunamis destroy buildings, habitats and danger to everything in its path on land. But how do they affect life under the water? That's what CrowdScience listener Alvyn wants to know, and presenter Anand Jagatia is searching beneath the waves for answers. Anand meets Professor Syamsidik who is learning about how tsuanami waves are formed to help protect against future disasters. He runs the Tsunami and Disaster Mitigation Research Center at Universitas Syiah Kuala, Indonesia. With him at this state-of-the-art lab is Dr David McGovern, expert in ocean and coastal modelling at London South Bank University. David tells Anand how the energy of a tsunami is spread across the entire water column. To explain the forces at play, Anand chats to Professor Emile Okal a seismologist from Northwestern University in the United States. Tsunami wave can move as fast as 800 kilometres an hour but, despite this, out at sea you might not notice it - but can the same be said for marine life? We follow the wave as it nears land and all that force is contracted and begins to show its might. Professor Suchana 'Apple' Chavanich from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand was one of the first people to swim off the Thai coast after the 2004 tsunami and remembers how coral reefs were battered. In Japan, after the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami as the water retracted it pulled with it tons and tons of debris into the water. The fishing communities of the Sanriku Coast lost almost everything, their equipment was destroyed and the water was heavily polluted. Anand meets Hiroshi Sato who set up the Sanriku Volunteer Divers, a team of people who dragged the debris out of the water. One of them was diver and journalist Bonnie Waycott who tells her story of witnesses the destruction first hand and trying to rescue the fishing industry with Hiroshi. Finally, we learnt that the effect of modern tsunamis carries far further than people might have imagined. On the west coast of the United States Professor Samuel Chan is an expert in invasive species at Oregon State University. He explains how modern infrastructure is contributing to some incredible migrations.

This week, we zoom out to the broader intellectual themes that shaped Decouple's origins five years ago. I'm joined by Jesse Ausubel, a visionary in sustainability and biodiversity research and the Director of the Program for the Human Environment at The Rockefeller University in New York City. In his long career, Ausubel pioneered the modern study of decarbonization and dematerialization in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He helped organize the first UN World Climate Conference in 1979 and spent the 1980s at the National Academies formulating U.S. and global climate research programs. In parallel, he has led major biodiversity initiatives including the decade-long Census of Marine Life, the DNA Barcode of Life project, and continues surveying ocean biodiversity using environmental DNA.In this conversation, Ausubel shows how the simple framework of logistic S-curves can illuminate fundamental trends across complex systems, including energy systems. Through this lens, we discuss the “environmental trifecta” of land-sparing, decarbonization, and dematerialization, and we explore whether apparent counter-trends challenge Ausubel's framework. Suffusing the interview is Ausubel's belief in the wisdom of long-term thinking and objectivity: simple, insightful frameworks are a starting point for admitting much-needed complexity into our worldviews. Join us in this rare examination of the mental models that claim to predict our environmental future.

For more than a decade, scientists have been puzzling over what was causing billions of starfish to dissolve into piles of white goo. Sea star wasting disease has ravaged starfish populations, wiping out 90% of the once common sunflower sea star. Now, researchers have finally identified the culprit. Madeleine Finlay speaks to Dr Melanie Prentice, one of the team to crack the case. She explains the impact the disease has had on the marine environment, how they found the pathogen responsible, and what it means for sea stars' recovery.

Vessel-whale collisions are a significant concern in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, where nutrient-rich waters support a seasonal influx of humpback whales and other marine mammals. As one of the most visited marine parks in Alaska, Glacier Bay sees a high volume of vessel traffic, including cruise ships, tour boats, and private craft. This summer an adult humpback whale was seen with a fresh, one-foot gash behind its dorsal fin which appeared to be from contact with a boat propeller.  This week the Traveler's Lynn Riddick reaches out to biologist Chris Gabriele to discuss this incident and the park's strategies to reduce whale collisions, including monitoring whale activity, warning systems, and public education.

South Australia's coastline is battling a toxic algal bloom. Rising sea temperatures and a lack of action about the unfolding catastrophe have left experts increasingly concerned about the health of the state's marine ecosystems. Senior reporter Tory Shepherd speaks to Nour Haydar about why experts say this disaster is ‘climate change happening'

The problem with seaweed aquaculture is that it's not always as ocean-friendly as it seems. While seaweed farming is often praised as a climate solution—able to sequester carbon, improve water quality, and support sustainable food systems—scientists are now warning that its rapid, unregulated expansion could be damaging vital marine ecosystems. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we dive into how seaweed farms are being placed over seagrass meadows, disrupting fish nurseries, smothering biodiversity, and altering water chemistry in ways we're only beginning to understand. You'll hear about the overlooked risks, from nutrient depletion and fertilizer runoff to coral reef shading and invasive species. We also explore solutions: better regulations, smarter zoning, and the importance of protecting seagrass habitats that store carbon and support marine life. Seaweed aquaculture can be part of the solution, but only if we act with caution and science in mind.

Vast areas of the ocean are getting darker, according to research based on satellite imaging. Marine ecosystems are governed by faint light changes – from mass nightly migrations to coral spawning cycles – so what happens when that light begins to fade? Ian Sample talks to Prof Tim Smyth from the Plymouth Marine Laboratory about why this darkening is happening and how life in the ‘photic zone' – the sunlit upper layer that is home to 90% of marine organisms – could be profoundly affected Planet's darkening oceans pose threat to marine life, scientists say.

For marine biologist, writer, and lay theologian Rachel Jordan, the ocean has never just been a backdrop—it's been a living metaphor for her relationship with God. Raised in a Christian household, Rachel's wonder at tide pools and the mysteries of the deep developed alongside her budding faith. She explains how the intrigue of peering into tiny, brimming tide pools mirrored her fascination with glimpses of God's character: “There was something vast and impressive that laid beyond, that I wanted to explore.” Just as the tide pools hinted at whole worlds awaiting discovery, Rachel found that both faith and science propelled her deeper: “Being a Christian has propelled me further into a desire to understand science ... and being a scientist has, I believe, made me a better Christian.” Rachel may study the ocean's wonders, but her path has been anything but fearless. “I've had this recurring nightmare ... of getting eaten by sharks ... I was just terrified of it,” she confesses. And yet, her marine biology career meant close encounters with those notorious creatures were not just possible, but sometimes necessary. What's remarkable is how God met her in those moments of dread—not by removing the fear, but by transforming it. As she recounts, “The beauty is that God took this thing that I was afraid of and converted it to open-mouthed wonder.” Rachel's transparency normalizes fear as a companion to growth, whether learning to dive or facing daunting new callings. Her encouragement? “It's okay to feel [fear]; it might be something that God uses in your story to do something really big and to show you more of who he is.” Lessons of Grief and Hope from the Coral Reefs Perhaps nowhere does Rachel blend her scientific vocation and spiritual conviction more poignantly than in her stewardship of endangered corals. She describes the “magic castles” of Dry Tortugas National Park—towering, endangered pillar corals—where she devoted herself to preservation efforts. Witnessing the corals' decline from disease was, for Rachel and her fellow scientists, “tragic and deeply impactful.” Yet, as a follower of Christ, Rachel finds hope in the heartbreak. Not only does she grieve in community, but she sees loss through the lens of biblical resurrection. She connects the “white skeleton bony structures” of dead corals to Ezekiel's vision of dry bones: if God can bring those bones to life, can't he also restore coral reefs one day? For Rachel, loss becomes an invitation to hope: “All of creation is eventually going to be restored, remade ... I just wonder what he's going to do next.” Divine Lessons from Buddy Dives and Seahorses Diving, for all its wonder, is fraught with risk, which is why marine biologists always practice “buddy diving”—entrusting their lives to a partner in the depths. For Rachel, this is a living parable: “God is our ultimate dive buddy ... he's not only capable of rescuing us in danger, but he promises to never leave or forsake us.” Other creatures—even a seahorse named Mr. Snuggles—have revealed to her the joy of relationship, not just provision. “I want to, like Mr. Snuggles, draw close to him and just sort of curl up with him and hang out together.” Scripture: A Dive Site Brimming with Life What better metaphor for the Bible, Rachel muses, than a vibrant dive site—unchanging in position but always full of surprise, beauty, and life? “When I read God's word ... there's always something new to discover.” It's a place to keep returning with fresh awe and an explorer's heart. The Deep Calls to Deep Whether or not you'll ever strap on a snorkel, Rachel's conversation is an invitation: to see the world as shot through with the beauty and presence of its Maker, to find him not only in safe harbor but also in the open, sometimes scary waters of life, and to trust that every loss and fear can be met—and even redeemed—by the God who made oceans and corals... and calls each of us out into the deep. MEET RACHEL JORDAN Rachel G. Jordan is a professional marine biologist and lay theologian. A self-professed Jesus-loving coral nerd, she was raised in Idaho and has since traveled the globe chasing her passion for faith and science. She has an MS in marine biology and ecology from James Cook University (Australia), a BS in ecology from Seattle Pacific University (USA), and a certification in biblical studies from Bodenseehof Bible School (Germany). In addition to working as a coral biologist for the US National Park Service, Rachel has worked in marine aquaculture research, organic chemistry laboratories, veterinary research facilities, the pet industry, and a museum. When not diving or writing, she can be found reading C.S. Lewis, growing wildflowers, and exploring creation with her husband.

For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. With engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the Bible, she asks and answers questions like: How can Christians reconcile religion and science when the two seem opposed? What do suffering and death teach us about the character of Jesus? How do we care for the environment when there seems to be little hope for repair? What do the ocean and its sea creatures, specifically, reveal about God? In these pages, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known. You'll lose yourself in the shadows of an underwater labyrinth; hear spiritual wisdom from a great-grandmother coral the size of a Volkswagen Beetle; and fall in love with Porky, the pudgy porcupinefish greeting visitors at the Windjammer shipwreck. And along the way, you'll see how the promise of restoration unfolds in both physical and spiritual ways. Rachel's thoughtful scientific and theological insights encourage us to know the Creator of the sea and everything in it.

Ever wondered how data powers the magic behind your favorite theme park experiences? Join Cindi Howson and Gavin Hupp, VP of Technology, Enterprise Architecture, Data and Martech, E-commerce and Analytics at United Parks and Resorts, as they explore the complex data ecosystem of a theme park, from e-commerce and guest experience to AI's role in shaping the future of entertainment.Key Moments: Theme Park Business Model (03:12): Theme parks are described as a mix of multiple businesses, including e-commerce for ticket sales, animal experiences, entertainment venues, culinary and restaurant services, and retail operations. This combination creates a complex ecosystem, similar to city planning, within a single physical location.  Data Ecosystem Challenges (03:37): Gavin highlights the challenge of managing data within theme parks due to the variety of business areas. Each area generates unique data, leading to disparate and sometimes siloed data sets across different business applications.  AI as an Innovation Driver (11:24): AI is viewed as a key driver of innovation within the theme park industry, capable of creating new products and services, such as augmented reality experiences, and enhancing personalization at scale.  AI for Process Optimization (11:24): Beyond guest-facing innovation, AI is also seen as a tool to optimize business processes, streamline operations, reduce costs, and identify opportunities for revenue growth through personalization and increased efficiency.  Data-Driven Decision-Making (17:30): United Parks and Resorts emphasizes the importance of guest feedback, collected through surveys and other means, and uses it to inform decision-making and guide the company's overall strategy.  Agile Development Approach (28:50): Gavin explains how the company employs agile development principles, using "skateboards" as a metaphor for quickly delivering initial solutions and value while simultaneously iterating and building more comprehensive and scalable solutions ("scooters" and "factories").Key Quotes:"To become more data-driven, you have to break down silos. This requires making people aware of the silos, the challenges they create, and framing it as a data quality discussion. Getting business leaders to care about data quality isn't easy; they want end results and impact." - Gavin Hupp"There's product and service innovation, and business process innovation, where AI optimizes and streamlines operations, decreasing costs and increasing revenue through personalization." - Gavin Hupp“There's an agile concept, a principle where, at the end of the day, you need to get movement, you need to get going. And so you can use a skateboard to go from point A to point B.” - Gavin HuppMentionsGavin Hupp, Forbes ArticlePenguin Trek: Seaworld Roller CoasterConway's Law4 Values of Agile DevelopmentScrumDiet & Eating Habits of Killer WhalesGuest Bio Gavin Hupp is currently the VP of Technology: Enterprise Architecture & Data, Martech, e-Commerce & Analytics at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (United Parks & Resorts).

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.
