A couple of months ago, a killer started mobilising off the South Australian shore — one that would wipe out marine life, make surfers feel sick, and smother picturesque beaches in thick foam.The culprit? A bloom of tiny organisms called microalgae. We can't see them with the naked eye, but in big enough numbers, they can devastate ecosystems.So what made the South Australian algal bloom so lethal, and can anything be done about blooms like it?

Ahead of World Oceans Day and the UN Ocean Conference, this episode of Nature Breaking explores how local communities are leading the charge in ocean conservation. Join host Seth Larson and WWF's Shauna Mahajan as they dive into the challenges and opportunities facing the Western Indian Ocean seascape—from climate change and overfishing to innovative community-led solutions. Shauna shares inspiring stories of how coastal communities in places like Tanzania and Madagascar are using tools like microfinance and co-management to protect marine ecosystems, support sustainable development, and build climate resilience. Learn how the open-source tool Elinor is helping track and improve conservation governance, and why community-led conservation is key to achieving global goals like the 30x30 target.

John Maytham is joined by acclaimed palaeontologist and Author John Long to dive into The Secret History of Sharks—a gripping exploration of one of Earth’s most ancient and misunderstood creatures. Long, a leader in fossil shark research, takes listeners through an epic scientific journey that spans 500 million years, revealing how sharks have not only survived but thrived through multiple mass extinctions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With fewer than 360 North Atlantic right whales remaining in the wild, these incredible marine giants are critically endangered. In this episode, Orla O'Brien, a marine biologist with the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium, discusses this urgent wildlife crisis and the challenges facing this species. O'Brien explains why right whales are often overlooked — an "out of sight, out of mind" issue — and how innovative technology plays a crucial role in protecting them, offering hope for their future. Bonus Track: Jeff Baughman of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo talks about a much smaller animal, but still one of North America's most endangered amphibians – the Wyoming toad.  To learn more about Wild Kingdom, check out the website.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We look at the new book by Sönke Johnsen. See more about Into the Great Wide Ocean : Life in the Least Known Habitat on Earth here. Into the Great Wide Ocean Life in the Least Known Habitat on Earth This book is a little bit different from some that we have reviewed about the sea and various popular science tracts about it. Turns out this is not necessarily a bad thing, and we have already recommended to some other people already. There is a lot more about the author in this book than you will find in some others in this field. There is a good reason for this however, as Johnsen wants to take you on his journey into why he loves what he does, and what exactly it is that he does, and does not do. Depending on your familiarity with scuba diving and deeper sea exploration some of this may seem quite prosaic and descriptive, but, at the same time it serves as a good introduction for those looking to make a deeper dive (terrible pun we know) into this whole area of exploration. The authors passion and enthusiasm for his work means that this quite nuts and bolts approach actually works quite well. He aims to take away the glamour, if you felt it was such, for deep sea exploration and learning more about the sea. At the same time though, with some lovely drawn illustrations too, he takes the reader on an informative and thought provoking discussion of how science is conducted out in some of the worlds, still relatively unknown to us, oceans. The physics of scuba diving, nitrogen narcosis and more, are also thoughtfully well explained. If this book inspires more people to study in this field then the book will have doubly been a success, as well as proving an interesting read for those of us who are now armchair scuba divers. More about this book The open ocean, far from the shore and miles above the seafloor, is a vast and formidable habitat that is home to the most abundant life on our planet, from giant squid and jellyfish to anglerfish with bioluminescent lures that draw prey into their toothy mouths. Into the Great Wide Ocean takes readers inside the peculiar world of the seagoing scientists who are providing tantalizing new insights into how the animals of the open ocean solve the problems of their existence. Sönke Johnsen vividly describes how life in the water column of the open sea contends with a host of environmental challenges, such as gravity, movement, the absence of light, pressure that could crush a truck, catching food while not becoming food, finding a mate, raising young, and forming communities. He interweaves stories about the joys and hardships of the scientists who explore this beautiful and mysterious realm, which is under threat from human activity and rapidly changing before our eyes. Into the Great Wide Ocean presents the sea and its inhabitants as you have never seen them before and reminds us that the rules of survival in the open ocean, though they may seem strange to us, are the primary rules of life on Earth. Sönke Johnsen is professor of biology at Duke University. He is the author of The Optics of Life: A Biologist's Guide to Light in Nature and the coauthor of Visual Ecology (both Princeton). Marlin Peterson, who created original illustrations for this book, is an illustrator and muralist who teaches and illustrates in many styles and media. He also specializes in giant optical illusions such as his harvestmen mural below the Space Needle in Seattle, and his full portfolio can be found at marlinpeterson.com. See more book reviews here.

A new, ancient, creature was discovered! And even stranger than it having existed for so long without us knowing, is that it actually has another creature inside of it. Nitroplasts, what this episode's cover art shows, are tiny little bacteria that within them have another creature that provides all the nitrogen it needs to thrive way out in the ocean. In this episode, Tyler Coale, one of the researchers on the discovery of Nitroplasts, joins us to unpack what they are, how they were found and the potential future of nitrogen fixation research.

Nicole Dubilier, Ph.D., Director and head of the Symbiosis Department at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, has led numerous reserach cruises and expeditions around the world studying the symbiotic relationships of bacteria and marine invertebrates. She discusses how the use of various methods, including deep-sea in situ tools, molecular, 'omic' and imaging analyses, have illuminated remarkable geographic, species and habitat diversity amongst symbionts and emphasizes the importance of discovery-driven research over hypothesis-driven methods. Watch this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC9vqE1visc Ashley's Biggest Takeaways: In 1878, German surgeon, botanist and microbiologist, Heinrich Anton de Bary, first described symbiosis as the living together of two or more different organisms in close physical intimacy for a longer period of time.  These relationships can be beneficial, detrimental or commensal, depending on the organisms involved.  Microbial symbiosis research holds great potential to contribute to sustainable energy production and environmental health.

To say it was an unexpected discovery would be a massive understatement…almost as massive as the discovery itself. A Gray whale was spotted off the coast of Nantucket on March 1. A sight to behold, compounded by the fact the species was thought to be extinct in the Atlantic.

Welcome, 7-Figure Educator! In today's episode, we're going to explore the powerful concept of redefining the storms in our lives. Most moments of disruption often precede significant transformation, and in this episode, I'll describe the four types of storms as outlined in Lalah Delia's book, "Vibrate Higher Daily": the desert, the mountain, the ocean, and the fog. Each of these storms represents a unique phase in our personal and professional growth journey. Throughout this episode, I'll be sharing some personal insights and highlighting the essential qualities of clarity, resilience, and self-trust that are crucial when navigating these storms. I hope that my experiences and lessons will resonate with you with the challenges you face, offering both inspiration and guidance on how to embrace transformation with optimism and determination. Join me today as we redefine and face these storms head-on in your life and emerge from them even stronger. Tune in to this episode, and let's navigate these storms together! KEY POINTS:  - Being on the other side of these storms leads to transformation and helps you to keep pressing forward   - Different types of storms that we may experience in our lives:  a. The Desert: A place of isolation that forces individuals to get clear on who they are by eliminating distractions and finding silence.  b. The Mountain: Represents obstacles that help raise awareness, spiritual resilience, and perspective. Climbing these mountains builds endurance and resilience.  c. The Ocean: Life happens in tides and waves. The ocean pushes individuals to higher levels of balance and self-control. It can be a purifying and restoring experience.  d. The Fog: A state of confusion and feeling stuck. It's a moment when individuals need to stop and seek clarity to move forward  -  Disruption often serves as a catalyst for your transformation and growth and forces you to make choices, find clarity, and redefine your paths  - Trust yourself and your abilities when facing difficult decisions and challenges QUOTES: "I know that there are so many of you who just feel yourself spinning in the tornado, and it feels really personal. It feels very overwhelming. And it's hard to see on the other side of it. And I wanted to give you the language to help you reframe the moment, to help you reframe the opportunity that you have to take that moment by its horns and actually be able to control the transformation that is waiting for you." - Dr. Erica Jordan Thomas "Now that we're at the million dollar mark and we're pushing our way to eight figures. That system, that partnership isn't going to work anymore, which forces us to redefine it. And it becomes our ocean. It forces us to restore, it forces us to find self balance, it forces us to purify right where we might be in the tidal wave of the 7-figure dissonance but the benefit of that and now we have to break down in order to build up and set us up for our next milestone of eight figures." - Dr. Erica Jordan Thomas RESOURCES: Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas  IG | @e_jordanthomas LinkedIn | @erica-jordan-thomas-ed-l-d-86314764  Facebook | @EJTConsultingLLC  Join 7-Figure Educator LIVE: The only 3-day event for Black educators that will your education expertise into a 7-figure education consulting business!  Join the #GetLaunchEDConsulting Facebook Group - Your hub for aspiring and seasoned education consultants.

The world's oceans are suffering from pollution by everything from plastics to dangerous chemicals and oil spills, and from industrial overfishing. Fish populations are being depleted almost to extinction. Plastics and their progeny, microplastics, are in the ocean water and in seafood, but also in us humans, in our blood, our lungs, even our brains. It's not a pretty picture, but there are people working for change. One of those people is my guest in this edition of Mothering Earth. She is Joanie Steinhaus, Ocean Director of the Turtle Island Restoration Network.

What Does Animal Agriculture Have To Do With Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria? Charles Horn • Contact: linkedin.com/in/charles-horn-762a911 • Book - Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals #CharlesHorn #Veganism #AwardWinningWriter Charles Horn is an award-winning and Emmy-nominated writer.Horn has authored Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals, a book examining justifications for eating meat and other animal products. The book argues for veganism. Why do we eat animals? Most of us think this question is absurd, but if pressed to answer we tend to provide one of a number of rationalizations.  For example: "Humans are omnivores."“Every living thing eats other living things.”"Animals don't possess human cognition."“Humans need to eat animals to live.” We've all heard these arguments before, and many others too. Maybe we've even used these arguments ourselves. But are they logically sound? Or is eating animals in fact a prejudice, involving a thought process similar to the thought process behind racism and sexism? How exactly could the subject of eating animals teach us anything about prejudice and human rights? And supposing humans actually did need to eat animals to stay healthy, what can logic tell us about how we should act in such a situation? In Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals, it examines 31 categories of rationalizations for eating animals and puts them all to the test. Do our thoughts and actions stand up to rational scrutiny or not? And if our thought process is ever failing us, can this be illuminated? Reading this book, You may never think of food the same way again. Charles Horn was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, He has a Ph.D. from Princeton University and holds five degrees in engineering and mathematics. He has written for the wildly popular Robot Chicken, Star Wars, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.He also has a hit animated sitcom called Fugget About It.  He is also the author of • The Laugh Out Loud Guide: • That's Just Wrong! Versions 1, 2 and 3 (a collection of sketch comedy books)• Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals?, 2014. To Contact Charles Horn:linkedin.com/in/charles-horn-762a911 Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

How The Internet And The Ice Age Impact The Study Of Climate Homeostasis Dr. Sailesh Rao • http://www.ClimateHealers.org • Book - Carbon Yoga: The Vegan Metamorphosis  #SaileshRao#CarbonYoga #Vegan #VeganMetamorphosis Dr. Sailesh Rao has over three decades of professional experience and is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers, a non-profit dedicated towards healing the Earth's climate. A systems specialist with a Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, He started his career working on the internet communications infrastructure. During this period, he blazed the trail for high-speed signal processing chips, technologies for High Definition Television, and real-time video communications. Today, over a billion internet connections deploy the communications protocol that he designed at AT&T Bell Laboratories. He has received numerous Exceptional Contribution Awards for his technical contributions throughout his career. He is the author of 22 peer-reviewed technical papers, 50 standards contributions, 10 US patents and 3 Canadian patents. He was the co-founder of Silicon Design Experts which was acquired by Level One Communications and which was later acquired by Intel Corporation for $2.2 billion.In 2006, he switched careers and became deeply immersed, full time, in solving the environmental crises affecting humanity. Dr. Rao is the author of several books, His most recent book Carbon Yoga: The Vegan Metamorphosis, Is about how we are in the midst of a monumental transformation in human civilization, akin to a metamorphosis. Just as in Nature where the caterpillar gorges excessively before forcibly undergoing a metamorphosis in the chrysalis, we over-consuming humans are reaching a point of being forcibly transformed within the cocoon of our finite planet into compassionate, life-affirming butterflies.  Such a revolutionary change in human outlook has the added benefit of inducing spiritual awakening, resolving social justice issues, elevating our connection with all Life and improving human health and well-being. It is only such a quest for “moral singularity” that will heal the Earth, regenerate Life and lead us to true global sustainability.  Carbon Yoga is the second in a series that began with the 2011 book, Carbon Dharma: The Occupation of Butterflies. While Carbon Dharma was mainly about what we need to do, as a species, to reach sustainability, Carbon Yoga takes this understanding of ethical and environmental righteousness (Dharma) and suggests how we can go about doing it (Yoga). He is the Executive Producer of several documentaries, The Human Experiment Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret What The Health A Prayer for CompassionThey're Trying to Kill Us  His work is featured in the award winning film, Countdown to Year Zero produced by Jane Velez-Mitchell and Unchained TV. To Contact Dr Sailesh Rao go to ClimateHealers.org Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

Moriah Bailey - "The Ocean Life" from the 2022 album i tried words on Keeled Scales. "i was hoping on the ocean life to pull through /turns out i'll have to say goodbye real soon." On her sophomore full-length, i tried words, harpist/vocalist Moriah Bailey reflects on the end of a relationship, and the definitions and expectations of "femininity" that can play into not only romantic relationships, but friendships, jobs, or family.  Not only is this reflected in her words, but also on the expanded sound she presents on the new album. After recording the voice and harp parts in her former rental home in Tucson, AZ, she recruited Sarah Reid (violin), Ryan Robinson (percussion), and Ricky Tutaan (guitar) to contribute to those tracks, allowing them to follow their own "musical intuition and insight." The beautifully woven results provide a backdrop for her thoughtful lyrics, ruminating on the struggle of dualities: "yes/no, future/past, darkness/light, giving/taking, masculinity/femininity, wants/needs." Today's Song of the Day is accompanied by a video directed by Lauren Reese. Bailey shares on her Instagram, "When we initially talked about collaborating on this, I let her listen to the whole album and choose a song that she was excited about. The video was filmed at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. Elmer Fajardo and [Holly Pierce] assisted Lauren in shooting the video and providing me moral support in being in front of the camera. Ha. The result is a really compelling illustration of themes in the song that plays with shots of light, reflections, shadows, movement, and water."

Building The World's Largest Animal Crossing Outside of LA There's a spot on Highway 101 in Agoura Hills, it's pretty inconspicuous. There's brown and green rolling hills on either side of the highway. Homes are sprinkled here and there. And then a small metal gate that leads off on a hiking trail. You probably wouldn't know it, but soon this spot will be the location of the world's largest animal crossing. This crossing will reconnect habitats that have been cut off from each other for three quarters of a century and it'll do it over a highway that is constantly buzzing with cars — 300,000 pass by this spot every single day. In this piece we're going on a geography voyage — from the north side of the highway to the south, and up the hills, above the highway, to get the real view. We'll start here — there's a big open space on the northern side of the highway. It's at the entrance to Liberty Canyon and where I meet Beth Pratt. “You have oak trees, a little creek area here. And we're listening to, actually, an Anna's hummingbird giving a little song for us that is actually resonating even over that, that noise of traffic,” Pratt said. She is the California Regional Director for the National Wildlife Federation. “For me what's kind of remarkable, but also sad. It's the last sixteen hundred feet of protected space on both sides of the freeway,” said Pratt. Read the rest on sciencefriday.com.   Life Has Found A Way On The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge collection of trash floating in the North Pacific Ocean. It's made up mostly of plastic—things like water bottles, shoes, and fishing gear, but also a large amount of microplastics, tiny bits of broken-down plastic that can be invisible to the naked eye. A giant, swirling patch of trash seems bad. But recent research has revealed a complicating factor: Marine life has colonized the garbage patch, making the floating plastic their new homes. As the classic Jurassic Park quote goes, “Life finds a way.” Joining Ira to talk about life on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is Linsey Haram, AAAS fellow at the U.S. Department of Agriculture based in Alexandria, Virginia. Her research on the Garbage Patch was done for the Smithsonian.   Enzymes Are Taking On Our Plastic Problem Flip over a plastic water bottle, or a takeout container, and it's very likely you'll find the number “1” stamped on the bottom. This is the sign of the problematic plastic PET, which is a large source for plastic pollution. It's estimated that only a third or less of this type of plastic is recycled into something new. Scientists are getting creative in trying to outsmart plastics that don't want to be recycled. Some are looking into enzymes that can break down plastic into its more basic molecular building blocks. The idea is that these smaller molecules are easier to turn into new things, making upcycling an easier task. Joining Ira to talk about the frontier of enzymes as recycling powerhouses is Jennifer DuBois, professor of chemistry at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.   Indigenous Knowledge Is Central To Climate Solutions As the United States observes Earth Day this year, many will be thinking about their personal relationship with—and responsibility to—the planet. But in an era of multiple planetary crises, including extinctions, global warming, and contaminated water, what about the Indigenous peoples whose millennia-old relationship with their land has been disrupted and sometimes severed by colonialism and other displacements? Indigenous environmental scientist and author Jessica Hernandez talks to Ira about the harms the Western science has perpetuated against colonized people, as white environmentalists created national parks on Indigenous lands and “helicopter scientists” continue to do research in the global south while using the wealth of Western institutions. And she explains why greater recognition of Indigenous science, and partnerships that center Indigenous peoples and their research questions, is good for the entire planet.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
