Amid the energy of the IUCN World Conservation Congress, David meets legendary marine biologist, oceanographer, and explorer Dr Sylvia A. Earle — affectionately known as “Her Deepness.” Still diving at 90, Sylvia began her career with a PhD in phycology (the study of algae) in 1966, has graced the cover of TIME magazine, authored nearly 200 scientific papers and 13 books, logged over 7,000 hours underwater, and still holds the 1979 record for the deepest solo dive — 380 meters beneath the sea.Joining her is conservation biologist Dr Tessa Hempson, Chief Scientist at Mission Blue, the nonprofit Sylvia founded in 2009. Mission Blue inspires global action to explore and protect the ocean through its network of Hope Spots — special places vital to ocean health. Partnering with local communities, scientists, and policymakers, the organization drives awareness, expeditions, and protection efforts toward one shared goal: safeguarding 30 percent of the ocean by 2030. Five years to go…Sylvia speaks of the fish she calls her friends — sentient beings with personalities, intelligence, and an inherent right to thrive in their ocean home. She reflects on the species lost to time — from the Steller's sea cow to the dodo — their fate sealed by humanity's destructive hand. And with a glint of curiosity, she admits her wish to meet a megalodon, that ancient giant of the deep. Yet her message is not one of nostalgia, but of hope. Sylvia believes the youth of today hold the key to a blue future — one where curiosity, courage, and compassion can restore balance to the seas she has spent a lifetime defending. Hosted on Acast.

Rincón de la Victoria se consolida como referente mundial en conservación marina con su papel protagonista en la declaración del proyecto Hope Spot Mar de Alborán por la prestigiosa organización internacional Mission Blue. Este reconocimiento, otorgado en septiembre de 2018, partió precisamente de Rincón de la Victoria como punto estratégico por su alto valor ecológico y por la firme apuesta local por la protección del medio marino. La iniciativa fue impulsada por Eco&Dive Club de Buceo Ambiental, en colaboración con el Ayuntamiento de Rincón de la Victoria, Hidralia, y Andrés Alcántara de UICN, abarca desde la costa de Almería hasta el Estrecho de Gibraltar. Esta distinción convierte a la zona en un punto de conservación de los océanos, dentro del marco global que lidera la oceanógrafa Sylvia Earle a través de Mission Blue. Durante estos días, Shannon Rake, manager de la Fundación Mission Blue, ha visitado el municipio para conocer de primera mano la evolución del proyecto y los avances realizados. “Rincón de la Victoria ha sido el único lugar del mundo donde se ha puesto el foco en la importancia del litoral costero como eje central de conservación”, explica el concejal de Playas, Sergio Díaz (PP), quien ha destacado “el trabajo fundamental de Eco&Dive, junto a científicos y biólogos marinos, que ha permitido posicionar a nuestro litoral como una referencia internacional en biodiversidad y sostenibilidad”. El alcalde de Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado (PP), ha subrayado la importancia de esta visita “para fortalecer lazos de colaboración y promover acciones conjuntas para la conservación marina en nuestra litoral, dando visibilidad a nuestros proyectos relacionados con el Arrecife Azul, la Senda Azul o la Economía Azul del municipio y de Andalucía”. Por su parte, Gemma Infante, presidenta de Eco&Dive y embajadora del Hope Spot del Mar de Alborán, ha valorado la presencia de Shannon Rake como “un reconocimiento al compromiso del municipio con la conservación del litoral andaluz. Que Rincón de la Victoria sea considerado punto estratégico es una oportunidad para mostrar al mundo la riqueza de nuestros ecosistemas”. Infante también ha destacado el respaldo de entidades colaboradoras: “Shannon expresó su admiración por la implicación de nuestra organización y el apoyo clave de nuestros patrocinadores, como el Ayuntamiento e Hidralia”. Además, Shannon visitó el invernadero municipal donde se está cultivando la planta marina Cymodocea nodosa para repoblar el fondo marino a cargo de la UMA, Ayuntamiento de Rincón de la Victoria e Hidralia. Desde su designación como Hope Spot en 2018, el proyecto ha promovido acciones de restauración de hábitats, seguimiento de especies y turismo sostenible, consolidando a Rincón de la Victoria como un enclave pionero en la defensa de los océanos. Fundación Mission Blue La Fundación Mission Blue, liderada por la legendaria oceanógrafa Sylvia Earle, impulsa una red mundial de zonas marinas conocidas como Hope Spots (Lugares de Esperanza), espacios vitales para la salud del océano identificados por su alto valor ecológico y su necesidad urgente de conservación. Entre los más de 160 Hope Spots designados en todo el mundo se encuentra el Hope Spot del Mar de Alborán, oficialmente declarado en 2018 gracias exclusivamente a la iniciativa de Eco&Dive, organización comprometida con la defensa del medio marino en Andalucía desde el ámbito local y científico. Hope Spot: Mar de Alborán El Hope Spot del Mar de Alborán tiene su base en la zona litoral de Andalucía y en la isla de Alborán, representando una de las regiones marinas más importantes del Mediterráneo occidental. Este enclave es estratégico tanto por su riqueza biológica como por su papel como corredor ecológico entre dos mares. La propuesta del Hope Spot se basa en tres pilares fundamentales: conservación, conocimiento y protección, a través de la creación de una red de información basada en el buceo científico realizado por Eco&Dive desde 2015. Actualmente, Eco&Dive desarrolla diversos proyectos de conservación, ciencia ciudadana y sensibilización, con base en el municipio de Rincón de la Victoria, y abiertos a posibles colaboraciones con entidades nacionales e internacionales. Tiene como objetivo dar visibilidad global al paraíso submarino del litoral rinconero y Mar de Alborán.

The ocean holds clues to past civilisations and cultures, provides a rich resource for new medicines and treatments, but more importantly, is home to millions of undiscovered species. Ocean scientists around the world have been seeking to unlock its secrets, but only just over 20% of the ocean floor is mapped. What lives, feeds and breeds down there in the icy depths remains a huge mystery. Large-scale extraction of ocean species like cod, herring, tuna, swordfish and halibut, has brought the collapse of these wild populations by about 90% in just the last few decades. But, a new wave of understanding about why the ocean matters is bringing a glimmer of hope. On this episode of Climate Connections, Dr Sylvia Earle, Founder of Mission Blue & National Geographic Society Explorer in Residence - who has dedicated her life to explore, study and protect the oceans - shares first-hand insights on her dives into the deep blue and why exploration is an important step in educating the masses. She also dives into what she’s hoping to achieve when she leads Ocean Geographic’s BIG ACE Expedition to ground-zero of the climate crisis: the Arctic, in line with her 90th birthday next year (2025).

Oceanographer Sylvia Earle has seen the deterioration of coral reefs firsthand. She founded Mission Blue, an organization devoted to the development of global Hope Spots. These special places around the world are “critical to the health of the ocean,” which impacts our lives on earth. Through the intentional care for these areas, scientists have seen the relationships of underwater communities restored and lives of endangered species saved. In Psalm 33, the psalmist acknowledges that God spoke everything into existence and ensured that all He made would stand firm (vv. 6–9). As God reigns over generations and nations (vv. 11–19), He alone restores relationships, saves lives, and revitalizes hope. However, God invites us to join Him in caring for the world and the people He created. Each time we praise God for the whisper of a rainbow splashed across a clouded, gray sky or the glistening waves of the ocean crashing against a rocky shore, we can proclaim His “unfailing love” and presence as we “put our hope” in Him (v. 22). When we’re tempted toward discouragement or fear as we consider the current state of the world, we may begin to believe we can’t make a difference. When we do our part as members of God’s care team, however, we can honor Him as the Creator and help others spot hope as they place their trust in Jesus.

L'océan est essentiel : il produit la moitié de l'oxygène que nous respirons et absorbe plus du quart des émissions de dioxyde de carbone produites par les activités humaines. Vital, l'océan est pourtant est malmené par les déchets, la surpêche, la pollution et même les engrais agricoles. La concentration en CO2 et la hausse des températures entraînent aussi son acidification. Or plus l'océan est acide, moins il joue son rôle essentiel de puits de carbone en absorbant le CO2 que l'on émet… un cercle vicieux qui accélère le réchauffement climatique. Mais on a quand même fini par comprendre qu'il fallait soigner l'océan, pour notre survie. Par exemple, cette année, le premier traité international qui protège la haute mer a été adopté. Dans cet épisode de Sur la Terre, une série de l'AFP en partenariat avec The Conversation, Camille Kauffmann a cherché à savoir quelles ont été les clés de cette réussite et les défis qu'il reste à surmonter. Avec : Maximiliano Bello, chercheur de la Mission Blue et plongeur, Françoise Gaill, biologiste spécialiste des écosystèmes profonds océaniques et vice-présidente de la Plateforme Océan et Climat, Denis Bailly, maître de conférences en économie de l'environnement, Klaudija Cremers, spécialiste de la gouvernance de l'océan et chercheuse à l'IDDRI, Carlos Gaymer, biologiste et directeur du Centre pour l'écologie et la gestion durable des îles océaniques du Chili.Si vous souhaitez creuser davantage la question de l'impact de l'agriculture et de l'azote sur l'océan, Gilles Billen a écrit un article spécialement pour accompagner notre podcast, il est à lire ici dans The Conversation.Réalisation: Camille KauffmannComposition musicale : Nicolas Vair avec Irma Cabrero-Abanto et Sebastian Villanueva.Sur le terrain : Pablo Cozzaglio, Mathilde Bellenger et Antoine Agasse.

Amy Novogratz is Co-Founder of AquaSpark, a global investment fund based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. AquaSpark is a holding company of innovative, novel solutions to some of aquaculture's biggest challenges, investing in companies developing a sustainable, optimal food system all along the aquaculture value chain.Amy's career as a change agent has focused on building collaborative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. Her early career highlights include helping set up SPAN, the Social Policy Action Network; developing and producing ‘Chat the Planet', a web and television entity that bridged young people globally; later she served as Director of the TED Conference's annual TED Prize for almost a decade, leading more than 20 global collaborations across a broad spectrum of sectors, including healthcare, education, science, technology, conservation, art, and activism.Notable projects during Amy's time at TED include: Jamie Oliver's Food revolution, JR's Inside Out Project, Bono's One.org and Sylvia Earle's Mission Blue.  It was on an expedition with marine biologist Sylvia Earle to the Galapagos Islands that Amy met Mike Velings, with whom she developed a shared vision to transform the aquaculture fish farming sector into a more sustainable industry, leading to the launch of AquaSpark – the first global investment fund dedicated to sustainable aquaculture – in 2013.Amy serves on the boards of eFishery, Energaia, and Xpert Sea.In today's episode, we discuss the aquaculture industry and the need for its transition into a more sustainable food supply.  A natural-born change agent, Amy recounts her odyssey journey starting out early in her career in activist theater which she soon felt was too indulgent. She then did an about-face and worked at a series of jobs, first with a think tank, and moving later to co-found the Social Policy Action Network with the objective of impacting culture. This ultimately led to a number of television-related media projects and eventually landing at the TED conferences.Amy explains the challenges that the sustainable aquaculture sector faces and the increasing role of technology in finding sustainable aquaculture solutions.  We discuss Aqua-Spark's theory of change and the eight components they use to measure their sustainability. She speaks about AquaSpark's ecosystem approach to portfolio management, how they select their investments, their due diligence process, examples of investments they've made and much more.Show notes: https://sri360.com/podcast/amy-novogratzAbout the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

La ONU encara este lunes la recta final de las negociaciones para dar a luz un tratado de protección del 60% de los océanos, específicamente la zona de altamar que no pertenece a ningún país. Entre las medidas, se busca un consenso internacional para proteger la biodiversidad de estas zonas, evitando la sobrepesca. Los países de la ONU llevan casi 15 años negociando un tratado internacional para proteger la altamar, esta zona ubicada más allá de las aguas territoriales de cada país. Una área que abarca más del 60% de los océanos con ecosistemas que sufren de varias amenazas. El abogado Diego Lillo, de la Asociación Interamericana para la Defensa del Ambiente (AIDA) explicó a RFI en español cuál es el marco de los objetivos de la tercera ronda de negociaciones en la ONU: "Además de los grandes problemas de contaminación en las aguas internacionales, los grandes problemas son la sobrepesca y sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales. Tambien la regulación que va a conducir a la explotación minera de los fondos marinos". La nueva ronda de negociaciones podría llevar a un acuerdo con 3 grandes principios: un reparto justo entre países ricos y pobres de la riqueza marina identificada por las empresas farmacéuticas, por ejemplo, reglas comunes sobre la evaluación del impacto ambiental. Y lo más importante: la creación de áreas marinas protegidas que de momento conciernen principalmente las aguas nacionales. Maximiliano Bello de la ONG de protección marina Mission Blue le habló a RFI en español de varios buenos ejemplos latinoamericanos: "América Latina es el continente que va a la cabeza de la creación de areas marinas protegidas. Chile tiene un 43% de esas areas resguardadas, Ecuador un 15%, Panamá 30% mientras que Brasil se acerca a ese último nivel mientras que Colombia ya lo superó. Lamentablemente -agrega- otros países como Perú o Uruguay están aun muy lejos de esa meta: ni siquiera han alcanzado el 10% prometido hace un par de años." El futuro tratado podría ser una etapa clave para garantizar el objetivo internacional de proteger el 30% total de las tierras y los océanos de aquí a 2030 y así evitar el gravísimo declive de la biodiversidad. Cuando hablamos del mar, "es importante trabajar multilateralmente porque no basta que un país proteja los ecosistemas si el vecino no lo hace" al mismo tiempo, concluye Bello.

Coral reefs are one of the richest ecosystems on Earth, home to a quarter of all marine life. They also protect communities on land from the sea and offer an invaluable source of food. But these ecosystems are dying because of pollution, overfishing, and the effects of climate change. And if the corals die, so will many other animals that depend on them. What can be done? Can we repair the damage? Can these and other precious ecosystems like sea grasses and mangroves not only be preserved, but also actively restored? To answer these questions we speak with Prof Carlos Duarte, Executive Director of the Coral Research & Development Accelerator Platform (CORDAP), and with an ocean acidification expert and IPCC contributor, Prof Jean-Pierre Gattuso, also research director at the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche-sur-Mer. And at the end of the episode you'll hear from Mission Blue founder, legendary oceanographer, and pioneer in the use of modern scuba gear, Sylvia Earle. Hosted by Jeremy Wilks. Produced by Naira Davlashyan and Natalia Oelsner. Editing is by Lory Martinez, Chiara Santella and Luis Lopez from Studio Ochenta. The theme music is by Gabriel Dalmasso.

Fact: About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. Fact: More than 80 percent of the ocean and never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. A far greater percentage of the surfaces of the moon and the planet Mars has been mapped and studied than of our own ocean floor. Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth, the ocean remains a mystery. Affectionately dubbed "Her Deepness", by The New Yorker magazine, Dr. Sylvia Earle, one of the world's top experts on ocean science and conservation, shares her inspiring wisdom in NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC OCEAN: A GLOBAL ODYSSEY showcasing how the ocean--with its forces, habitats, creatures, and global influence--has a tremendous impact on our everyday lives. President & Chairman of Mission Blue, Dr. Earl describes the evolution, beauty, and impact of our ocean, the challenges it faces, such as climate change, plastic, and overfishing, and the myriad ways we can help protect it. With a special focus on new discoveries in the deepest reaches of the ocean, Dr. Earle's book reveals wonders that few have witnessed before and broadens our understanding of this essential realm of life on Earth.

Episode 166: Did you know that oceans make life possible on our planet? Even if we live far from the coast, our lives are influenced by the ocean. Oceans generate oxygen, capture carbon, shape weather, and provide habitat for countless creatures.  To learn more about these vast, yet fragile bodies of water that make our planet unique, beautiful, and able to support life, I speak with world renowned ocean scientist and explorer Dr. Sylvia Earle. In this inspirational interview, Sylvia shares her thoughts about what we can do to help our oceans and why urgent action is needed now. We discuss some of the threats that oceans face including acidification due to climate change, industrial fishing, and pollutants.  Sylvia reflects on a lifetime of learning and exploration and shares why she is so positive about the future. She tells us what it's like to live underwater for weeks at a time, how fish have different personalities, and why Menhaden matter. Sylvia calls upon each of us to be part of the solution and stresses that what we do has an impact. Sylvia believes that we have the power, knowledge, and technology necessary to save our oceans and to honor the living world that makes our existence possible. This is an all hands on deck moment. We live on a miracle, a blue planet that functions in our favor and provides us with water and air. Each of us has a part to play in preserving, restoring, and celebrating our oceans, and in doing so, saving ourselves and the environment. Dr. Sylvia Earle is called "Her Deepness" by The New Yorker and the New York Times, a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress, and the "First Hero for the Planet" by Time magazine. Sylvia is the author of more than 200 publications, including the new book National Geographic Ocean: A Global Odyssey which was written as a love letter to a gravely imperiled friend and a call to action to humans everywhere. Sylvia is the Founder of Mission Blue, a nonprofit that inspires action to explore and protect the ocean. She is also a National Geographic Explorer at Large and former Chief Scientist of NOAA.

Shinnecock Bay on Long Island has been named a Hope Spot by Mission Blue.

We've got another environmental hero for this week's episode! We talk about the life of Sylvia Earle, one of Chelsea's personal inspirations. From diving to the deepest depths of the ocean to spearheading Mission Blue, this woman is a powerhouse for the planet! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/savethemermaids/support

While Sarinah and Hannah are on vacation, we decided to rebroadcast one of our "best of" episodes with Dr. Sylvia Earle, you'll understand why in a minute... Close your eyes, and picture yourself underwater. See the light sway above you, as it gets darker and darker the further down you go. Welcome to the deep waters of the ocean, a place where today's guest has spent a considerable part of her life, swimming alongside the ocean's many flora and fauna. Dr Sylvia Earle is an icon in marine biology and ocean conservation and has been featured in popular documentaries like Seaspiracy, Mission Blue and Chasing Ice. She has won many awards and accolades including the Carl Sagan Award for Public Understanding of Science, the National Audubon Society's Rachel Carson Award, and has authored more than 150 publications including a new book alongside National Geographic called Ocean: A Global Odyssey.She's also the first woman to walk on the ocean floor.The team here at Earth to Humans is a HUGE fan of Dr. Earle and her work and we've had a hard time containing our excitement in anticipation of this episode's release. We talk octopus intelligence, empathy in science and reasons why there is still so much reason to hope (even though everything seems really f@$%ed).

Dr. Sylvia Earle is the founding President and Chairman of Mission Blue. She is a National Geographic Society Explorer in Residence and was dubbed Her Deepness by the New Yorker and New York Times. The Library of Congress made her a Living Legend and Time Magazine declared her the first Hero for the Planet. She was also the first female Chief Scientist of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the NOAA).  She is an Ocean Elder, an oceanographer, explorer, author and lecturer.  In short Dr. Earle is a living legend.  Over the years Dr. Earle has brought her infinite wisdom and deep knowledge of how our planets works to both the professional world and the masses in books, films, numerous talks, lectures and interviews but one in particular stands out, from ten years ago, with the NRDC (the national resources defense council), where she said “Think of the Ocean as the blue Heart of the planet.  The part that makes the world work. Drives climate and weather. Generates most of the oxygen we breathe.  It drives our water cycle. It's where 97% of the water is. This is our life support system and unless we really understand it and appreciate it, we are not going to take care of it. Knowing is the key”.   LEARN MORE ABOUT SYLVIA EARLE here:    Mission Blue Website: https://mission-blue.org/ Sylvia Earle Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Earle Mission Blue News: https://mission-blue.org/in-the-news/ Sylvia Earle on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SylviaEarle Mission Blue on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mission_blue/?hl=en Mission Blue on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MissionBlue Hope Spots: https://mission-blue.org/hope-spots/ Youtube Mission Blue: https://www.youtube.com/user/missionbluecoalition Hashtag Sylviaearle : https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/sylviaearle/?hl=en Mission Blue Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1wp2MQCsfQ TED 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43DuLcBFxoY   Google Earth Explore the Ocean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BpSO5kN8-4 Nat Geo: : https://www.nationalgeographic.com/impact/article/sylvia-earle-protecting-exploring-ocean The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/12/were-causing-our-own-misery-oceanographer-sylvia-earle-on-the-need-for-sea-conservation Time Inc: https://time.com/6114248/sylvia-earle-10-questions/ Achiever Awards: https://achievement.org/achiever/sylvia-earle/ UNEP: https://www.unep.org/championsofearth/laureates/2014/sylvia-earle On Being Interview: https://onbeing.org/programs/sylvia-earle-her-deepness-feb2018/ Donate to Mission Blue: https://mission-blue.networkforgood.com/projects/66908-2019-donation-drive   “Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you're lucky enough to see lots of them, that means that you're in a healthy ocean.

No discussion about the state of our planet, most notably our oceans, is complete without the inclusion of Her Deepness, Dr Sylvia Earle. For more than half a century Sylvia has been one of the loudest and most articulate voices of reason and science in the pursuit to not only protect and correct the state of the ocean, but also in inspiring others to do the same.In this episode, Simon and Sylvia discuss her latest book, a collaboration with the National Geographic Society entitled “Ocean, A Global Odyssey”. The conversation also explores the great “Anthropause”, the state of our oceans, the advancement of women in ocean conservation, the power of conscious consumerism, what we can learn from indigenous communities - and what we can teach them, and why there is cause for great optimism. Sylvia's Mission Blue organization remains on the up and is truly worth supporting, especially the identifying and protecting of the world's Hope Spots.

Close your eyes, and picture yourself underwater. See the light sway above you, as it gets darker and darker the further down you go. Welcome to the deep waters of the ocean, a place where today's guest has spent a considerable part of her life, swimming alongside the ocean's many flora and fauna. Dr Sylvia Earle is an icon in marine biology and ocean conservation and has been featured in popular documentaries like Seaspiracy, Mission Blue and Chasing Ice. She has won many awards and accolades including the Carl Sagan Award for Public Understanding of Science, the National Audubon Society's Rachel Carson Award, and has authored more than 150 publications including a new book alongside National Geographic called Ocean: A Global Odyssey.She's also the first woman to walk on the ocean floor.The team here at Earth to Humans is a HUGE fan of Dr. Earle and her work and we've had a hard time containing our excitement in anticipation of this episode's release. We talk octopus intelligence, empathy in science and reasons why there is still so much reason to hope (even though everything seems really f@$%ed). She thinks we humans can overcome the mountain of our environmental negligence, and after this interview, we might be inclined to believe her.
